    Abstract: This open access textbook offers science education researchers a hands-on guide for learning, critically examining, and integrating machine learning (ML) methods into their science education research projects. These methods power many artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies and are widely adopted in science education research. ML can expand the methodological toolkit of science education researchers and provide novel opportunities to gain insights on science-related learning and teaching processes, however, applying ML poses novel challenges and is not suitable for every research context. The volume first introduces the theoretical underpinnings of ML methods and their connections to methodological commitments in science education research. It then presents exemplar case studies of ML uses in both formal and informal science education settings. These case studies include open-source data, executable programming code, and explanations of the methodological criteria and commitments guiding ML use in each case. The textbook concludes with a discussion of opportunities and potential future directions for ML in science education. This textbook is a valuable resource for science education lecturers, researchers, under-graduate, graduate and postgraduate students seeking new ways to apply ML in their work

    Abstract: This open access book shows how citizens' involvement in geohazard risks prevention can strengthen regional and national risk management systems, to demonstrate a new form of engagement between civil society and local authorities. The lessons learned in in this book, where the local communities were engaged to actively participate in risk preparedness and monitoring and incorporate local capacities into risk management systems, are reported. A cooperation and resource platform on geohazards risk assessment, preparedness, mitigation, and prevention was used as interface between the citizens and the risk management system. A more efficient uptake of Copernicus data, products, and services on regional level is discussed, to improve geohazard risk prevention and resilience to natural disasters. Recommendations for the creation of future observatories in response to the widest range of hazards (both natural and human-induced) in Europe and in the world are provided

    Abstract: This open access book analyses the ever-complex relationship between immigration and health in contemporary societies using the Spanish society as a case study. It addresses some of the main dimensions of migrant health in Spain, including migrant-specific vulnerability factors, health changes associated with time spent at the migratory destination, and differentiated problems of certain subpopulations of migrants. The book also examines some of the factors associated with migrant health and explores the mechanisms that might explain this nexus, such as early childhood development, adult and older age health conditions, health practices and coping skills, health culture, social support, physical environment, and access to medical care and health services. While contributing to the effort to create a more comprehensive view of the health status and outcomes of immigrants in developed societies, the book will prove to be a valuable resource to academics, health professionals, various levels of stakeholders and decision-makers, representatives of civil society, and NGOs.

    Keywords: Sociolinguistics ; Place (Philosophy)
    Abstract: Place has been central to sociolinguistic research from the beginning. How speakers conceptualize and orient to place can influence linguistic productions. Additionally, places can and do have myriad meanings - some strongly contested. Further, place is not static, as people move and the ideologies regarding certain places evolve over time. This Element probes these themes. It begins by reviewing the existing work on language and place within sociolinguistics according to key themes in the literature - place orientation, gentrification, globalization, and commodification, amongst others. Then it introduces key concepts and frameworks for studying place within allied fields such as geography, sociology, architecture, and psychology. Each author then presents a case study of language and place within their respective field sites: rural Appalachia and Greater New Orleans. The authors end by identifying areas for future development of place theory within sociolinguistics. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

    Abstract: Modern slavery laws are a response to global capitalism, which undermines the distinction between free and unfree labour and poses intense challenges to state sovereignty. Instead of being a solution, Constructing Modern Slavery argues that modern slavery laws divert attention from the underlying structures and processes that generate exploitation. Focusing on unfree labour associated with international immigration and global supply chains, it provides a novel socio-legal genealogy of the concept 'modern slavery' through a series of linked case studies of influential actors associated with key legal instruments: the United Nations, the United States, the International Labour Organization, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Walk Free Foundation. Constructing Modern Slavery demonstrates that despite the best efforts of academics, advocates, and policymakers to develop a truly multifaceted approach to modern slavery, it is difficult to uncouple antislavery initiatives from the conservative moral and economic agendas with which they are aligned.

    Series Statement: Elements in Metaphysics
    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als
    Abstract: This Element presents the main attempts to account for causation as a metaphysical concept, in terms of 1) regularities and laws of nature, 2) conditional probabilities and Bayes nets, 3) necessitation between universals and causal powers, 4) counterfactual dependence, 5) interventions and causal models, and 6) processes and mechanisms. None of these accounts can provide a complete reductive analysis. However, some provide the means to distinguish several useful concepts of causation, such as total cause, contributing cause, direct and indirect cause, and actual cause. Moreover, some of these accounts can be construed so as to complement each other. The last part presents some contemporary debates: on the relation between grounding and causation, eliminativism with respect to causation in physics, the challenge against 'downward' causation from the Closure and Exclusion principles, robust and proportional causation, and degrees of causation.

    Abstract: This open access book presents interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral research results fostering event analytics across languages and communities. It is based on the CLEOPATRA International Training Network, which explored how we analyze and understand the major events that influence and shape our lives and societies, and how they unfold online. This analysis was achieved through various case studies, the development of novel methodologies in fields such as data mining and natural language processing, and the creation of new event-centric datasets aggregated in the Open Event Knowledge Graph (OEKG), a multilingual event-centric knowledge graph that contains more than 1 million events in 15 languages. The book is divided into three parts, focusing on different aspects of event analytics across languages and communities: Part I Event-centric Multilingual and Multimodal NLP Technologies presents five chapters reporting on recent developments in NLP technologies required to process multilingual information. Next, the four chapters of Part II: Event-centric Multilingual Knowledge Technologies discuss technologies integrating multilingual event-centric information in knowledge graphs and providing user access to such information. Finally, Part III: Event Analytics covers three selected aspects of multilingual event analytics, namely an analysis of event-centric news spreading barriers, claim detection in social media, and the narrativization of events as a means of presenting event data. This book is mainly written for researchers in academia and industry, who work on topics like natural language processing, large language models, multilingual information retrieval or event analytics

    Abstract: This open access text offers the first comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles and practical implementation of Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC). Drawing on their years of experience in both research and industry, the authors have designed the text to be accessible to readers at any level of knowledge and experience with ADRC. Multiple entry points and paths through the text are defined so that it can be easily adapted to their specific needs. Part I covers the theoretical foundations of ADRC, giving readers the basic information in a self-contained, tutorial style. Emphasis is placed on first developing an intuition for ADRC through illustrative examples inspired by real control problems. The main concepts are then introduced and explored in a more formal and concise manner using standard control-domain-related terminology. Part II demonstrates methods for applying ADRC in practice through software-based implementation. Utilizing laboratory testbeds to mimic real control problems from process and control areas, the authors illustrate the use of software through both model-based environments - including MATLAB/Simulink - and low-level C programming language. Common issues that one can encounter when implementing controllers in the real world are also examined, and specific solutions to these problems are offered that retain the simplicity of ADRC. This book can be used as a textbook, handbook, or reference manual, and through its many entry points, can be easily picked up by students, practitioners, and scientists. Having in mind its introductory nature, the prerequisites for studying the considered subject are intentionally not very strict. Readers should have at least basic knowledge of systems and controls, as well as an understanding of core mathematical concepts of calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations
    Description / Table of Contents: Part I: Foundations -- Prelude: A Fresh Look -- First Contact with ADRC -- Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control -- Between Time and Frequency Domain -- Visual Tour -- Extensions and Modifications -- Interlude: A Look Around -- Part II: Going Practical -- Discrete-Time Linear ADRC -- Practical Aspects -- Software Implementation -- Application Examples -- Postlude: A Look Ahead.

    Abstract: "This well written book explores the pivotal role that the Co-operative College has played in the development of cooperative education in Britain and beyond on a global scale. The narrative intertwines the immediate practical requirements of cooperatives with broader, visionary perspectives, illustrating how education within cooperatives is intricately linked to their operational success and sustainability." - Simel Esim, Head, Cooperative, Social and Solidarity Economy Unit, International Labour Organisation (ILO) "The Co-operative College has had a profound impact on the lives of generations of students. This impressive, lucidly written study makes a compelling case for both its national and global importance." - Peter Gurney, Professor, University of Essex, UK This open access book explores the Co-operative College's distinctive adult educational tradition over the past century as it provided education for co-operative leaders, employees and members in addition to developing a range of wider educational initiatives and ideas internationally. The Co-operative College is a British educational charity established in 1919, founded on co-operative principles. It played a crucial role in co-operative education in the British Empire and subsequently in the independent nations. In doing so, it brought together vocational and liberal education as well as educating members as part of a movement that fostered significant social change. It draws on original archival research at the National Co-operative Archive in Manchester as well as other material at the National Archives, Bishopsgate Institute and the British Library. Furthermore, the rich archives of the National Co-operative Archive allow for the development of a rich visual history of the movement to be explored.

    Abstract: This is a open access book. Ranaviruses, double-stranded DNA viruses (family Iridoviridae) that cause systemic, life-threatening disease in a variety of amphibians, reptiles and fish, have contributed to mass die-offs of both wild and captive populations around the globe. These viruses are emerging and increasingly responsible for population declines of ectothermic vertebrates. Because amphibians, reptiles, and freshwater turtles are suitable hosts and among the most imperiled vertebrate taxa in the world, ranaviruses can have significant impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem function. Additionally, many fish that are raised in aquaculture facilities and traded internationally are suitable hosts; thus, the potential economic impact of ranaviruses is significant. Ranaviruses also serve as a model for understanding viral replication and gene function among large double-stranded DNA viruses, e.g., poxviruses, asfarvirus, and ascoviruses. Lastly, study of the host immune response to ranaviral disease and the identification of viral immune evasion genes that negatively regulate host immune functions provide insight into which specific immune elements are most important in protecting host species against severe disease. The effort to produce a 2nd edition of our earlier work grew out of a recent meeting (1st Global Amphibian and Reptile Disease Conference) held in August 2022. Given the continued research in ranaviruses and ranaviral disease since the first edition, this new book updates the latest information on ranaviruses and provides guidance on how to monitor and manage ranaviruses in cold-blooded vertebrate populations

    Abstract: This book is an Open Access Publication. The Guidelines for Trustworthy AI developed by the European Commission High-Level Expert Group on AI is a framework that has been developed to promote and achieve the trustworthiness of AI systems. It provides seven ethical principles that can be operationalised in socio-technical systems to realise responsible AI design and deployment. The content of this book is shaped around these principles. In chapter one, the concept of Human Agency and oversight will be described from the lens of a social-cultural understanding of Agency, Autonomy, and oversight including a debate on the place of human rights and power dynamics. Beyond the Trustworthy AI discourse, this book will appeal to the wider AI developers community, civil society, policymakers, ICT and the RRI community. It will also appeal to other subject areas within the Social Sciences and Humanities including; Law and Technology and Digital Culture.

    Abstract: Humankind faces two anthropogenic threats to its survival that are closely linked. The first is the end of the Holocene and the start of the Anthropocene, which was marked by the test of a nuclear bomb on 16 July 1945. In the prevailing peace and security narrative, nuclear weapons and the 'other' (country, bloc or alliance) pose a perceived threat to humankind's survival. In the Anthropocene narrative, 'we are the threat' through our way of life and the burning of hydrocarbons. The start of the Anthropocene coincides with a change in the international order with the setting up of the UN and the Bretton Woods Institutions. Three stages of this order are distinguished: the Cold War (bipolarity), the post-Cold War era (unipolarity), and the end of the rule-based global liberal order (multipolarity) on 24 February 2022. In this book ten multidisciplinary perspectives discuss complexity, Anthropocene geopolitics, peace and security discourses and the German debate on the Anthropocene, planetary boundaries, complex crises and integrative geography in the Anthropocene, governance and politics, and the Patriacene and gender. Both existential threats for humankind are illustrated by cover photos of the first nuclear weapons test on 16 July 1945 and by Category 5 Hurricane Otis, an extreme weather event impacting on Acapulco in Mexico on 25 October 2023. The Anthropocene as a new epoch of Earth history coincides in 1945 with a change in the international order. In the security and peace narrative, the 'other' and nuclear weapons pose an existential threat; in the Anthropocene narrative, we are the threat. This dual existential change requires a rethinking of politics, policy and polity. In the social sciences, the Anthropocene is being discussed from multidisciplinary perspectives (geography, political science, and peace, security, and gender studies). This is an open access publication

    Abstract: This open access book explores how to build a gender-just peace in which women's political citizenship is foregrounded through a case study of Northern Ireland. It addresses the role that civil society can play in peacebuilding and in political life in deeply divided transitional societies. It specifically focuses on women's groups, and, as such, studies what grassroots peacebuilding across an ethnic divide can look like in practice. Further, it analyses what it means to build a gender equal citizenship based on the lived expertise and experiences of women's activism, political participation and interethnic cooperation during and after conflict. Based on material collected through interviews, participant observation and official documents, the book explores the potential for gender-just political citizenship but also the risk of backlash in terms of women's rights during a transition from armed conflict to peace. Essential reading for students and researchers in Political Science, Gender Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies, and Transitional Justice.

    Abstract: Disagreement is a common feature of a social world. For various reasons, however, we sometimes need to resolve a disagreement into a single set of opinions. This can be achieved by pooling the opinions of individuals that make up the group. In this Element, we provide an opinionated survey on some ways of pooling opinions: linear pooling, multiplicative pooling (including geometric), and pooling through imprecise probabilities. While we give significant attention to the axiomatic approach in evaluating pooling strategies, we also evaluate them in terms of the epistemic and practical goals they might meet. In doing so, we connect opinion pooling to some philosophical problems in social epistemology and the philosophy of action, illuminating different perspectives one might take when figuring out how to pool opinions for a given purpose.

    Abstract: This Element examines philosophical accounts of scientific explanation, particularly those that apply to biology and the life sciences. Two main categories of scientific explanation are examined in detail -causal explanations and non-causal explanations. The first section of this Element provides a brief history and some basics on philosophical accounts of scientific explanation. Section 2 covers causal explanation, first by discussing foundational topics in the area, such as defining causation, causal selection, and reductive explanation. This is followed by an examination of distinct types of causal explanation, including those that appeal to mechanisms pathways, and cascades. The third section covers non-causal, mathematical explanations, which have received significant attention in philosophy of biology and the life sciences. Three main types of non-causal, mathematical explanation are discussed: topological and constraint-based explanation, optimality and efficiency explanations, and minimal model explanations.

    Abstract: Part 1: The Beginnings of Mathematical Logic in Vienna -- Part 2. Report of the Seminar on Mathematical Logic -- Part 3. Godel's Trial Lecture on Instutionistic Logic.
    Abstract: Kurt Gödel (1906-1978) created a sensation by his incompleteness theorems of 1931, now seen as one of the high points of 20th century mathematics and science more generally. His professor at the University of Vienna Hans Hahn decided to organize a seminar on mathematical logic for the academic year 1931/32, with Gödel in charge for most of the practical side. The seminar proceedings, given in English translation in this book, are a unique witness of the state of research in logic and foundations of mathematics right after Gödel's theorems. They also add an important aspect to the intellectual history of these times in Vienna, both Hahn and Gödel having been members of the Vienna Circle. One fourth of the seminars were dedicated to Gödel's results: First the doctoral thesis about the completeness of predicate logic, then incompleteness, and last his results on intuitionistic logic. The seminars explain all these results in detail, in contrast to Gödel's publications of the time that often were quite laconic and extremely short. This book also contains Gödel's trial lecture on intuitionistic logic held in Vienna in 1933. The manuscript, recently found among the Gödel papers kept in Princeton, is preserved in Gödel's forgotten German shorthand and published here in an English translation. .

    Abstract: In the decades following the civil war that took place in Sierra Leone between 1991 and 2002, new laws were passed to rebuild the state, and to prevent rape, teenage pregnancy and domestic violence. In this ethnography, Luisa T. Schneider explores the intricate semantic, empirical and socio-legal dynamics of love and violence in post-conflict Sierra Leone, challenging the oversimplification of these phenomena. Schneider underscores the limitations of imposing singular interpretations on love and violence, advocating for a nuanced, phenomenological approach that reveals how state and institutional attempts to regulate violence and loving relationships without considering local lived experience and meaning-making can yield negative consequences. By analysing how love and violence are historically constituted, experienced, and (re)produced across personal, social, legal, and political levels, this book critiques the construction of violence within gendered sexual relationships by development agencies, law makers and politicians, urging them to engage with local knowledge and experience.

    Abstract: This is an extraordinary and often eye-opening set of insightful, wide-ranging and oftentimes disturbing essays, each of which offers unique insights into theatre censorship practices and their impact within a specific political and moral culture. The collection repeatedly breaks fresh ground. ­– Steve Nicholson, Emeritus Professor, University of Sheffield, UK In its impressive and well-realised ambition, demonstrated by the well-focused intelligence and academic flair of its many contributors, this collection is both magisterial and vital. It is an essential contribution to censorship studies, fascinating and inspiring, a must-read for anyone interested in the subject. – Aleks Sierz. Theatre critic and author At a time in the world where many governments are increasingly seeking to limit artistic expression, this book is a necessary reminder of the many freedoms that have been fought for in theatres around the globe, and how the power of being unsilenced must never be taken for granted. – Caridad Svich. Playwright and translator This book incorporates a wide theoretical, cultural, literary and historical engagement in exploring the tension between dramatic productions and the forms of censorship they encounter from creation to reception. The Palgrave Handbook of Theatre Censorship offers global new insights into censorship practices, examining attempts at repression motivated either by fears that audiences gathering together to watch live dramatic events will lead to sedition and mass uprisings, or by moral or religious squeamishness requiring the establishment of institutional systems of censorship to curb or suppress the stage. As such, the Handbook aims to initiate redefinitions of what we understand or experience as censorship. Anne Etienne is Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Drama in the Department of English at University College Cork, Ireland. Graham Saunders is the Allardyce Nicoll Chair of Drama in the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts at the University of Birmingham, UK. They are series co-editors of Palgrave Studies in Cultural Censorship. .

    Abstract: "Revitalizing Health Care Ethics presents a clear and empathic strategy for clinicians to take responsibility and trust their judgment as they confront ethical questions in the care of patients. This is a must read for clinicians and bioethicists, students and trainees, their teachers, and anyone concerned about the state of compassionate caregiving and the quality of patient care today." - Allan M. Brandt, Harvard University, USA "This is a book that clinicians are sure to enjoy. It communicates a deep respect for clinicians and for their existing skills and capacities, including ethical capacities. It deserves to reach a wide audience of students, trainees, clinicians, and educators." - Per Olav Vandvik, MD, PhD, University of Oslo, Norway This open access book explores the origins and development of the clinician's moral voice and how that voice is embedded in the informal ethical discourse of everyday health care. This moral voice, developed over the course of a lifetime--including through professional education and practice--enables clinicians to understand and address the ethical issues that arise in their everyday work with patients, families, and colleagues. The early chapters explain how health care students move from outsiders to insiders--members of the distinct moral and professional communities that define each particular field of health care. The book describes how students, trainees, and clinicians draw on and extend their own existing intellectual, emotional, and moral capacities, and how they use these capacities to address the daily challenges, ethical and otherwise, that arise in the clinic. This approach is designed both to empower clinicians and to inform bioethicists and others in their attempts to work more effectively within clinical settings.

    Abstract: "This is a fantastic guide to the changing structure of jobs in the world, with a goldmine of evidence on growing and declining occupations in Europe, the Americas and Asia. No book has ever presented such a comprehensive study of employment change as this one." - Daniel Oesch, University of Lausanne, Switzerland "As an impressive piece of empirical work this book offers an innovative way of assessing structural shifts in employment, indicating areas for effective policy actions, while exercising great caution not to jump to premature conclusions. This well-written book will serve as a key guide for both researchers and policymakers in the coming years of employment transformation." - Sangheon Lee, Director of the Employment Policy Department of the International Labour Organization, Switzerland This open-access book offers a comparative analysis of changes in employment structures on a global scale, focusing on employment trends during the first decades of the 21st century across 17 developed and developing economies, including countries from Europe, North America, Central and Latin America, and Asia. The authors examine patterns of occupational change in all cases, with job upgrading and polarization being the most prevalent, and explore the factors driving these changes, such as technological change, the increased participation of women, the growth of service-oriented sectors, and others. Particular attention is given to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employment. By applying consistent methods across all countries, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of employment dynamics and trends worldwide, representing one of the most significant efforts to produce comparative evidence on a global scale to date. As such, it will be of interest to researchers and policymakers focused on labor, inequality, and economic development.

    Series Statement: Elements in Creativity and Imagination
    Parallel Title: Erscheint auch als
    Abstract: The way we understand creativity in psychology is built on a fundamental asymmetry between people and objects: people have thoughts, intentions, and the ability to act, while objects lack these qualities. However, despite this distinction, objects that are created communicate with their creator. During the process of creation, objects being formed by the creator take on certain characteristics and behave in certain ways, resulting in a kind of conversation between the person working on solving a problem and the results physically produced. In essence, while the traditional view focuses on the person's thoughts and intentions as the driving force of creativity, the dialogue between the creative individual and the evolving product of their work is overlooked. This Element proposes a methodology and theoretical vocabulary that restore the role of objects in the dynamic unfolding of creative problem solving.

    Abstract: Partnerships in policing are used worldwide to reduce crime and disorder problems. Police forge partnerships with businesses, government agencies, and communities to co-produce public safety. Third-party policing (TPP) is a particular type of partnership that involves the police addressing crime and disorder by working through (and with) third-party partners. This Element focuses on the nature and effectiveness of TPP partnerships. Using systematic review and meta-analytic techniques, it shows that TPP interventions are effective in efforts to reduce crime and disorder, without displacement of these problems. Cooperative partnerships are associated with considerably larger crime control effects than interventions relying on coercive engagement styles. Dyad partnerships - twosome partnerships between police and one third-party partner - are likely to offer the "sweet spot" in TPP. The Element concludes that partnership policing using non-criminal justice legal levers is a promising approach to crime control. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core

The fragmented ontology of Chinese postsocialism captures the structural contradictions of a political system that supports a neoliberal economy while continuing to promote socialist values. This study explores how the ideological ambivalence and cultural paradoxes that characterise the postsocialist condition are embodied and represented in performance. Focusing on independent practitioners and postdramatic practices, it builds on theorisations of postsocialism as a state of temporal disjunction to propose a tripartite taxonomy structured around past, present, and future temporal regimes. The categories of postsocialist hauntologies, postsocialist realisms, and postsocialist futurities are introduced to investigate performance works that respectively revisit the socialist past, document present realities, and envision future imaginations. The intersection of competing temporalities and their performative manifestations reflects the disjunctive constitution of contemporary China, where past socialist legacies and futurological ambitions coexist within a fractured postsocialist present

    Abstract: In today's digital age, the spread of dis- and misinformation across traditional and social media poses a significant threat to democracy. Yet repressing political speech in the name of truth can also undermine democratic values. This volume brings together prominent legal scholars from democracies worldwide to explore and evaluate different regulatory approaches for addressing this complex problem - all taking into account that the cure must not be worse than the disease. Using a comparative lens, the book offers important and novel insights into methods ranging from national regulation of politicians' speech to empowering civil-society groups that are well-positioned to blunt the effects of disinformation and misinformation. The book also provides solutions-oriented recommendations for policymakers, judges, legal practitioners, and scholars seeking to promote democratic values by encouraging free political speech while combatting disinformation and misinformation. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core

    Abstract: This open access book presents a collection of papers focussing on 3D digitisation in the domain of cultural heritage. The use of data acquisition technologies in digitising cultural heritage holds great potential for preserving and disseminating the history of mankind. However, to exploit these opportunities in full, comprehensive guidelines for documenting the process of digitisation are required. Only then can the efficiency and credibility of digital representations be assured. A major focus of the 16 papers included in this State-of-the-Art Survey is on all aspects of the documentation of the digitisation process, i.e., the paradata, which, alongside the metadata, is critical to the scientific rigour, replicability and sustainability of digital heritage resources. The volume provides a useful resource for computer scientists, surveyors, archaeologists, architects, museologists and engineers

    Abstract: This open access book addresses the thriving trend of embedding artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities in products and services reaching the lay public, focusing on the user experience (UX) they prompt from a designerly perspective. It offers a UX evaluation method designed explicitly for AI-infused systems to answer one of the core problems affecting the relationship and interactions people have with such artefacts. The work investigates how people perceive and make sense of systems integrating AI capabilities, trying to understand how their meaning and significance can affect the experience of such products and what design challenges may arise. Given the fundamental premise that current UX methods cannot address AI-infused artefacts, it introduces the results of Meet-AI, a research project exploring specific ways to tackle these problems. The book then presents a comprehensive analysis of current UX methods, and a literature review focused on detecting possible gaps and the most suitable qualities to describe AI-infused systems, and summarizes the findings from all previous investigations into a UX evaluation scale: AIXE (AI user eXperience Evaluation). The book also portrays how the tool has been validated and expanded to become a more comprehensive method. It further describes how the scale has been applied to a comparative study of domestic smart speakers, and introduces a reversed interpretation of the outcomes, framing them as heuristics to inform the early phases of the design process and paving the way for future experimentations in the meta-design dimension

    Abstract: "Louise Lowe is a theatre and performance director, writer, choreographer, dramaturge, and, more recently, a television director and short film writer/director, working in Ireland and internationally. She is the Co-Artistic Director of ANU Productions, established with Owen Boss in Dublin in 2009. Lowe is known for facilitating and creating moments of interior reckoning for audiences through immersive performance techniques. These techniques engage spectators in affectively realised moments of understanding that the stories unfolding through performance reflect living histories in need of greater socio-political engagement and intervention. This Element assesses Lowe's creative practice and production history since her days as a drama facilitator in women's prisons and resource centres in Dublin, paying particular attention to the economic struggle of Dublin's north inner-city, the markings of which are potently visible in the work she makes, and how she makes it.

    Abstract: In this volume, the concept of "medical neutrality," which states that medical services should not be interfered with during armed conflicts and other emergencies, is challenged based on the experience and expertise of the authors, who come from diverse military, humanitarian, and academic backgrounds. The principle of medical neutrality is grounded in International Humanitarian Law as well as in Human Rights Law and it can be justified by ethical rationales such as the principle of Humanity and ordinary medical ethics. Health workers often understand medical neutrality as an obligation not to engage in anything else other than medical outcomes. In this book, a variety of problems and ethical issues in the application of medical neutrality in the professional practice of healthcare personnel are analyzed. The contributors expand the debate around “medical neutrality” and aim at better-informing policy and operational decisions regarding the application of medical ethics, the protection of medical missions in conflict, and the training of healthcare professionals to operate ethically and safely in volatile environments. The volume is of great interest to academics, practitioners, policymakers, and students who are looking for analyses and guidance regarding medical neutrality.

    Abstract: This book focuses on the implications of the common themes and works on three urgent tasks for bioethicists. Are there common themes between transhumanism and the WHO framework for global governance of human genome editing? If yes, what are the implications of that? To find possible common themes, the author applied the reflective thematic analysis (RTA) method to a set of texts on transhumanism and a set of texts on the global governance of human genome editing. The transhumanist texts were the three documents Humanity+, the former World Transhumanist Association, calls the “original documents on transhumanism” (the Transhumanist Declaration, Transhumanist FAQ 3.0, the Transhumanist Manifesto v.4). The selected texts to represent the current global governance of human genome editing were the three documents published by WHO on the topic in 2021 (human genome editing: a framework for governance, human genome editing: recommendations, human genome editing: position paper): the only plan for the global governance of HGE to date. As a result of his application of the RTA method, he found three common themes. What does this mean for our society? What are the implications of the current situation? What are the tasks for bioethics? There are emerging questions on the human condition and new concerns to be addressed, such as the do-it-yourself mentality. The limits of “therapy vs. enhancement” ask for serious work on a bioethical framework for enhancement. Finally, the authors question the predominant values and propose a refinement to some conceptions of autonomy, protection, and equality. Recognising the current situation and working on the identified tasks has become crucial for contemporary Bioethics.

    Abstract: This open access book examines the long-term impact of Christian missionaries in Zambia, and sub-Saharan Africa more generally, on education, health, and economic development. It examines how Christian missionaries provided Western-style education and healthcare within sub-Saharan Africa during the 20th century and how this was provided along unequal gender and regional lines. With sub-Saharan Africa currently facing challenges in the provision of essential public goods and services, the legacy of Christian missionaries in Zambia provides an insightful case study for better understanding how gendered education and regional health inequality have hindered economic development in this region. This book offers a new perspective on colonialism and the economic challenges faced within Africa. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested development economics and economic history. Michael Chanda Chiseni is a Research Fellow at Gothenburg University

    Abstract: We have entered an era of perverse economic growth, at the expense of social and natural capital. As the world runs further behind on the Sustainable Development Goals, managing and mitigating the looming environmental and social crises in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world will be one of the biggest challenges, but also biggest commercial opportunities of our time. Building on earlier research on systemic change, using the WHAT-HOW-WHY framework, this Element presents actionable insights for the radical systemic reinvention of our 'critical systems' that satisfy human and societal needs, such as nutrition, mobility, infrastructure or health. The authors highlight ten emerging paradigms for future-fit systemic change, discuss how stakeholder mindsets can be developed, and present new skills for leaders and a pathway for companies to become drivers of collaborative transformation.

    Abstract: "Religion is messy because it is double-ledged – It promotes and impedes development, sometimes concurrently. Add gender issues and the quest for sustainable development and the complexity of human life becomes manifest. Read this volume and see if you can disentangle the messy mesh of religion, gender and sustainable development in Southern and Eastern Africa." —Eunice Kamaara, Moi University This volume brings to the fore the intersections of religion, gender and sustainable development in 21st century Africa from an interdisciplinary perspective. The volume explores and presents a coherent, research supported argument for the role of religion in promoting gender justice and sustainable development. Contributing authors explicate how the nexus between religion and gender can be utilized as the backdrop for achieving sustainable development in Africa, focusing on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5, “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.” Chapters in this volume focus on a variety of topics, including, how African Traditional Religions, Christianity (mainline, AICs, Pentecostalism), Islam, Rastafari, etc., are being used to promote SDG 5 in African countries.

    Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic laid bare economic weaknesses throughout the Caribbean region, and humane standards of living are at risk. This book highlights the retooling that must be done to promote economic stability in this important area of the world. It contributes to ongoing discourse regarding Caribbean economies and highlights the long-term economic challenges that must be addressed to move forward. In this book, economists Terence M. Yhip and Brian Alagheband offer ideas and proposals to reinvigorate economic growth through the adoption of technology and investment in human capital. The book explains how to diversify economies by increasing the complexity of exports. With a shift in priorities, nations will need to raise total factor productivity and potential output. The book offers strategies to diversify the production and export of complex goods and services. The authors note that the necessary capabilities can take nations decades to build. Such investment will require trade-offs and sacrifice. Progress cannot and will not be immediate, but such modifications will produce meaningful economic returns. Contemporary Challenges for Caribbean Economies includes a chapter on the oil future for Guyana, a rising economic “superstar” due to the nation’s oil riches that portend either blessing or curse. It also includes a chapter written by Tawfik Ramtoolah about the impressive dynamism of the Mauritius economy, which transformed from sugar-cane monoculture to industrial and financial services diversification. Terence M. Yhip is an economic consultant. He was previously a commercial banker and Visiting Fellow in the Department of Economics at the University of the West Indies in Mona, Jamaica. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from McGill University. Alongside Alagheband, Yhip is the coauthor of The Practice of Lending. Brian Alagheband is an economic policy consultant at Hydro One in Ontario, Canada. He holds a M.A. in Economics from York University. .

    Abstract: Chapter One: Introduction: Evil and the Writings of Iris Murdoch -- Chapter Two: Iris Murdoch and the Problem of Evil -- Chapter Three: Iris Murdoch and the Problem of Dualism -- Chapter Five: Responding to Evil: Banality, Testimony and Terrorism -- Chapter Five: Murdoch’s Villains: Enchanters, Psychopaths and Saints -- Chapter Six: Female Figures of Evil: Gender and Power in Murdoch’s Fiction -- Chapter Seven: Conclusion.
    Abstract: “Iris Murdoch is vital for her time and ours. Her writings resonate powerfully with the deepest areas of our lives. Nowhere is this more evident than in her depiction of evil. She did not shy away from dealing with the horrors of the twentieth century. This book engages with Murdoch on evil, recognising the range of her reading and influences and the power of her writing. I recommend this book for those familiar with Murdoch and for all those aware of the force of evil in our lives.” —Gary Browning, Emeritus Professor of Political Thought at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, UK “Daniel Read throws unprecedented light on Murdoch’s fears for the impact of evil on the world. His work is not only a significant contribution to contemporary Murdoch scholarship, it is also a challenge to humanity to recognise and respond to evil when they meet it, face to face.” —Anne Rowe, Visiting Professor at the University of Chichester and Emeritus Research Fellow at Kingston University, London, UK This is the first survey of Murdoch’s exploration of evil, addressing aesthetic, philosophical, political and theological perspectives. The study demonstrates how her work engages with currently urgent issues of trauma, terrorism and psychopathy and brings her works into dialogue with key figures in twentieth- and twenty-first-century discussions of evil, including Hannah Arendt, Carl Gustav Jung, Susan Neiman and Simone Weil. These resonances are traced through close readings of Murdoch’s published fiction and philosophy in combination with unpublished texts, including annotations, interviews and letters. Murdoch’s detailed and nuanced portrayal of evil invites readers to explore the complexities of human behaviour and the potential for moral failure. Daniel Read is a Visiting (Hourly Paid) Lecturer at Kingston University, London, where he completed his PhD in 2019. He is also an editor of and contributor to the Iris Murdoch Review. Degrees of Evil in Iris Murdoch’s Fiction and Philosophy is his first monograph.

    Abstract: Combining the social and cultural history of war, global and maritime history, this book examines the Argentine Navy during the First World War and in its immediate aftermath. Drawing from a wide range of primary sources, including naval publications, correspondence, memoirs and official documents, the book contributes to the institutional history of the Argentine Navy by outlining the contours of the Force at the beginning of the twentieth century—detailing its organisation, resources and training—and its evolution over the decades. The author also explores the repercussions of World War I on the Argentine Navy, focusing on the circulation of ideas, knowledge and debates, and their appropriation and re-signification by this armed institution. It reconstructs the scenario of the Allied naval blockade and German submarine warfare— the main pillars of the economic war waged by the belligerents—and emphasises the difficulties and challenges they posed for Argentine trade, navigation and neutrality, as well as for the naval modernisation projects that the country undertook. Reflecting on the impact of the First World War on the Argentine Republic’s Navy between 1914 and 1928, this book is valuable reading for those researching maritime history, Argentine history and the socio-cultural history of warfare.

    Abstract: This book explores the role of modesty in the thought of Albert Camus. Camusian modesty – modestie – affirms, against nihilism and absolutism, the necessity of taking care and putting passion into the relativity of human creation and recreation. The book shows how this care and passion spring from the necessity of a continually renewed tension between the self and the limits which transcend the self. From this standpoint, modesty is not a form of moderation; it goes to the root of human condition in face of the absurd. It is a radical attitude which engages human life in a daily struggle for meaning. With modesty in mind, Camus reimagined the relation between meaning and absurdity, history and nature, self and other, nation state and continent, global north and south, and war and peace. In a world of arrogance, narcissism, and fear, Camus’ philosophical and political insights are fundamental in order to re-think and re-imagine our present. Tommaso Visone is Associate Professor of History of Political Doctrines at Link University and Adjunct Professor of Political Thought for Colonization and Decolonization at Sapienza University of Rome. He is also Research Fellow at the Institute for Research on Population and Social Policies of CNR (National Council of Research), Rome.

    Abstract: This comprehensive book, divided into seven sections, showcases groundbreaking research findings that blend new experiences from the COVID-19 pandemic with long-term research on online laboratories and virtual experimentation. Providing an adequate learning experience in the laboratory has long been a major challenge in science, engineering, and technology education. Recent years have further revealed the complexities of offering distance or remotely accessible educational settings, particularly for laboratory-based courses. In response, many academic institutions have innovated by transitioning their laboratory classes into online laboratories or providing laboratory kits for at-home use. This unprecedented situation has sparked numerous new developments, approaches, and activities, revolutionizing the field. With contributions from leading researchers and practitioners across diverse disciplines, this book delves into current trends, addresses critical challenges, and uncovers future opportunities for laboratory-based education in the context of online learning. Whether readers are educators seeking innovative teaching strategies, researchers exploring the latest advancements, or academic leaders looking to enhance remote learning experiences, this book provides valuable insights and practical solutions. It explores how online laboratories are transforming education and discovers the potential they hold for the future.

    Abstract: This book brings together the work of Maria Cristina Marcuzzo and highlights her investigations, in a few cases jointly-authored, into the history of economic thought and her quest for an alternative economic thinking. Following an extended introduction that contextualised her ideas and highlights consistent themes throughout the volume, it discusses the theoretical and methodological approaches that have come to define the history of economic thought as a discipline. The work of David Ricardo is then debated, alongside ideas of money and monetary systems. Finally, the impact of the Cambridge economists is presented, with a particular focus on Luigi Pasinetti, Joan Robinson, Piero Sraffa, and John Maynard Keynes. This book combines theoretical discussions with historical analysis, biographical narratives, and original archival researcher to provide rich insights into the history and impact of economics. It will be of interest to students and researchers working within the political economy and the history of economic thought. Maria Cristina Marcuzzo is Honorary Professor of Political Economy at the University of Rome, “La Sapienza", and Fellow of the Italian Academy of Lincei. She is a former President of the European Society for the History of Economic and the Italian Society for the History of Political Economy. She is also a Distinguished Fellow and Vice President of the History of Economics Society.

    Abstract: The constant inundation of the affect and information experienced by contemporary individuals exposes the tragic nature of the world, making nihilism an epistemologically reasonable response. To counter the threat of nihilism, Elijiah Prewitt-Davis argues that knowledge must be replaced by belief. Against the common protestant concept of belief as strictly personal and interior, he proposes believing in the world as an absurd and immanent faith in the impossible—a belief that allows one to see and feel the potentialities simmering within the world as it is. Following Gilles Deleuze call to “transform belief,” Prewitt-Davis explores how belief heightens an affective attachment to our embeddedness on the world, revealing the potentialities with which time is always pregnant. Believing in the world as it is paradoxically becomes the mode of transforming the world inasmuch as the potential for something impossibly new is always immanently present. Elijah Prewitt-Davis is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

    Abstract: This book represents the first in-depth research dedicated to examining the historical and contemporary developments of Japanese film festivals as sites of cultural diplomacy. It focuses on the proliferation, network and operation of Japanese Film Festivals (JFFs) in the Asia-Pacific from the late 1970s until 2020. Through case examples in Australia, Malaysia and Thailand, the book explores how the formation and recent developments of JFFs in the region reflect wider changes in the function of Japanese cultural diplomacy through films, particularly with the intensification of economic, cultural and diplomatic opportunities presented in this geopolitical space. Teck Fann Goh is Lecturer in Arts and Cultural Management at the University of Melbourne. She obtained her PhD from the School of Media, Film and Journalism at Monash University, Australia. Her research focuses on the implementation of cultural policy in the organisation of film festivals and how institutions practice cultural diplomacy on the international stage to enhance cultural connections. Her other research interests include contemporary film cultures and Asian media and popular culture.

    Abstract: This book explores three connected insights into humor. First, that humor provides a privileged access to the deepest kind of truth, the sense as such of its topics and so of their very reality. It is argued that humor allows us to see things afresh and truly by flouting the sense of the things it deals with so enabling us to step outside of our taken for granted immersion in that sense. As a result, the character of the true sense stands out against the contrast of its nonsensical distortion. Second, that because of the way humor accesses truth, it also brings out the essential meaning of relevant value including the good and the worthwhile. Third, humor enables a privileged coordination and negotiation of profoundly conflicting truths and values. Humor’s access to truth is privileged both in its depth, even with respect to metaphysics, and also because it establishes the truth of what it shows. Humor’s Privileged Access to Truth, Meaning, and Goodness is essential reading for all scholars and researchers of the philosophy of humor.

    Abstract: Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: A Concentrated Demographic Transition -- Chapter 3: China’s Dual Transition: Income Growth & Transitioning Demographics -- Chapter 4: Connecting the Effectiveness & Ineffectiveness of the Two-Child Policies -- Chapter 5: Conclusion.
    Abstract: This book presents an in-depth examination of China’s population control policies from their establishment to the present and explores the developing implications of these policies on the Chinese labour market. The book connects original research on contemporary Chinese demographics with a historical analysis of China’s labour market structure. Using data from the most recent population census, chapters explore the economic impact of the demographic transition that has taken place over recent decades, from the strict implementation of family planning policies to the current easing of these policies. The book examines income growth and economic development in China after the Second World War with comparative perspectives from other Asian countries including Japan and South Korea. It also devotes a chapter to regional variations in the effectiveness of population control policies, exploring differences in rural and urban areas, and surveys the future challenges for the Chinese government in addressing population and growth-related concerns. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in economic history, labour economics, and demography, as well as those interested in Chinese economic and societal development.

    Abstract: This book explores the lifelong dialogue between Thomas Robert Malthus and the libertarian anarchist William Godwin. Shedding light on important topics in the history of economic and political thought, it examines Godwin’s rejection of the new industrial order and his insights into a post-acquisitive, post-conflictual future. It shows that Malthus felt Godwin had neglected the ever-increasing pressure of population on scarce food and that control could not be superseded by automaticity so long as the productivity of the land was limited by the law of nature. Godwin and Malthus situated their views on population in the broader context of individual choice, property rights, normative constraint and the status of the poor. This book highlights Godwin and Malthus’ commitment to an economy that is equitable and efficient, making their ideas relevant to contemporary debates, and sheds light on two giant thinkers of the past.

    Abstract: To mark the 300th anniversary of Adam Smith’s birth, the 37th Heilbronn Symposium on Economics and the Social Sciences was dedicated to his outstanding oeuvre, but above all to his most famous work, “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” (1776), which is regarded as a keystone of modern economics. The influence of Smith’s doctrine has made a lasting contribution to the development of a modern understanding of society and the economy and, in particular, the functioning of markets. This is not least because of the breadth of his approach, with overlaps between political economy, social philosophy and ethics. The planned volume builds on the current state of Smith research and also provides new insights into the dissemination of Smith’s ideas in German-speaking countries, but also in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.
    Note: 2023 marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of the Scottish philosopher and economist Adam Smith, reason enough to dedicate a special conference to this pioneering thinker - in our case the 37th Heilbronn Symposium entitled “300 Years of Adam Smith: Reception and Infuence in Germany.” - Seite 1

    Abstract: Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Human and Natural Constraints -- Chapter 3. Interference and Domination -- Chapter 4. Control -- Chapter 5. Degrees of Freedom -- Chapter 6. Measurement.
    Abstract: When is a person free to do something? The focus of much of the recent work on this question has been the debate between those who defend freedom as non-interference (aka liberals) and those who defend freedom as non-domination (aka republicans). This book defends a new answer to this question, freedom as non-constraint. According to freedom as non-constraint, both interference and domination cause unfreedom, both human and natural constraints cause unfreedom, and both controlled and uncontrolled interference cause unfreedom. Compared to liberal and republican theories, freedom as non-constraint provides a better account of systemic and structural threats to freedom, a better picture of how market forces and governments impact freedom, and a better understanding of how the natural world constrains freedom. Freedom as non-constraint also provides a new account of the scalarity of freedom and points to the limits on our ability to measure freedom with precision. George W. Rainbolt is Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Florida (USA), where he has also served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

    Abstract: This book examines the dissemination, adaptation, and application of classical economic ideas within the Hispanic world through the life of José Joaquín de Mora. Focusing on the decades surrounding the creation of the Latin American republics, it highlights how ideas from the classical political economy, including liberalism and free trade, were pioneered in the work of Mora and disseminated across the Spanish speaking world. Particular attention is given to the influence of Mora in Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia and how he helped shape their economic development models and political environments. This book examines the essential role José Joaquín de Mora played in the ideological and political modernisation of Latin America. It will be of interest to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought and the political economy. Jesús Astigarraga is Professor of Economics at the University of Zaragoza.

    Abstract: This study argues that allusion is a central part of classic British detective fiction. It demonstrates the fraught status of Shakespeare and the Bible during the Golden Age of the British detective novel, and the cultural currents which novelists navigated whilst alluding to them. The first part traces the complex web of allusions to Shakespeare and the Bible which appear in the novels of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, examining the meanings these allusions produce. The second part explores the way in which Sayers’ own collection of detective novels became a canon, on which later novelists exercised those same allusive practices. It studies allusions to Sayers’ novels throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, from Gladys Mitchell and P.D. James to Reginald Hill and Sujata Massey. This study reveals allusion as a shaping force at the origin of the classic British detective novel, and a continuing element in its identity.

    Abstract: This book explores the multifaceted dimensions of the Girmitya diaspora and post-memory. The intersections of dis/re-location and memory have always been a focus of scholarly interest and the volume envisages the roots of migration and culture, life stories, narratives, and personal anecdotes. It further accentuates Girmitiya struggles, politics of displacement, relationships with the homeland and host land, oral traditions, repercussions, and retention of the archival sites. The cross-examination of memories helps in building a framework to study the varied experiences of the Girmitiya community. In this volume, through a blend of historical and scholarly discourse, we embark on a journey to unearth the layers of meaning embedded within the Girmitya experience. The tales of Girmitya migration amplifies marginalized voices and illuminates the enduring resilience. By chronicling the experiences of the indentured migration, we pay homage to the pioneers, recognize the intricacy of their toils, and commemorate the continuing legacy.

    Abstract: In the 21st century, blockbuster fantasy films have dominated film viewership in the United States. The increased popularity of fantasy films has generated much greater scholarly interest in the study of fantasy films. It has also generated an artistic response by American Indie filmmakers who have developed alternative approaches to the portrayal of film fantasy. Reality and Fantasy in American Indie Films: A Cavellian Approach applies the methods and procedures of Cavellian philosophical film criticism to the study of four prominent American indie films released in 2014 in which fantasy can be said to play an important role: Birdman (Alejandro G. Iñárritu); Boyhood (Richard Linklater); The Grand Budapest Hotel (Wes Anderson); and Only Lovers Left Alive (Jim Jarmusch). Rick Zinman is an independent scholar based in Santa Cruz, California. His work has appeared in Film-Philosophy and Quarterly Review of Film and Video, among other publications.

    Abstract: Angelia Poon is Associate Professor of English Literature at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. This book examines Anglophone Singapore literature in the new millennium as it complicates and disrupts the reductive trajectory of Third World to First that has come to characterize dominant impressions of Singapore as a developed, postcolonial nation. It shows how the state’s determined positioning of Singapore as a global city, which began in earnest in the 1990s, has led to social dilemmas and cultural fissures emerging from the intersection of colonial history, postcolonial legacies and neoliberal capitalism. It explores the ways in which literature constitutes a potent site for the critical examination and cultural negotiation of intersecting identity claims, interests, logics, histories and ideologies as Singapore writers grapple with key aspects of contemporary Singapore society including its official multiracialism, forms of inequality, distribution of privilege, history, coloniality, and gender and sexual politics. Often, the texts challenge hegemonic perspectives by resisting the monolithic and unitary in favor of the heterogeneity of experience, disclosing in a way unique to literature the importance and complexity of affect. The chapters in this book historicize and offer close analyses of some of Singapore’s most culturally significant contemporary writing in relation to salient theoretical and conceptual frames like decoloniality, minority politics, cosmopolitanism, flexible accumulation, and affect theory. 'An important synthesis of the critical approach of a leading scholar of Anglophone Singapore literature.' --Philip Holden, co-author of The Routledge Concise History of Southeast Asian Writing in English 'This sharp, lively book is essential reading for scholars of contemporary literature and culture. Combining rigorous cultural, political, and socioeconomic research with consideration of several important and compelling literary texts, it conveys the significance and range of contemporary Singaporean Postcolonial literature in English.' --Jenni Ramone, Associate Professor of Postcolonial and Global Literatures, Nottingham Trent University and author of Postcolonial Literatures in the Local Literary Marketplace and Global Literature and Gender.

    Abstract: This book rigorously examines the air transport market liberalisation process on the African continent and presents key highlights, challenges, and impediments to embracing an “open skies” market environment in Africa. It focuses on the economic impact of air transport liberalisation, policy constraints, challenges of harmonisation, and regional economic integration and its impact on air transport development, employing a quantitative assessment based on the Air Transport Liberalisation Index (ALI) to evaluate how an open skies policy would change the competitive dynamics of air transport in Africa. Adopting a two-tier gravity model, it explores how demand and route networks would be impacted by the deregulation of the air transport market. It also applies a historical perspective by evaluating the initial ratification of the Yamoussoukro Declaration (1999), which acted as a catalyst for Africa’s 2063 regional agenda, focused on establishing the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM). The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), exploring its multifaceted impacts on Africa’s single market from economic, regulatory, and sustainability perspectives. It examines the capacity and competency building of African aviation personnel. Training gaps and skills are extensively evaluated to ensure that the African region is prepared for the “new” competitive equilibrium post SAATM. Moreover, the book raises critical questions regarding the status of the African air transport market. This book i978-3-031-61863-5transport landscape.

    Abstract: All children deserve access to the conditions and opportunities needed to thrive, including unbiased accessible healthcare and high-quality learning opportunities; safe, toxin-free communities and stable housing; access to nutritious meals; and secure, warm, available, and loving caregivers. Historic and contemporary injustices in US society have created inequities in opportunity and access to resources for Black, Latine, Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native, and other children of color, children with disabilities, children in poverty, and other marginalized children; these have contributed to stark disparities across child development outcomes. This Element overviews inequities in economic, educational, and health systems through historical and contemporary perspectives and describes how these inequities impact children and families. Solutions to address these inequities are considered for a fairer US society, starting with its youngest residents, where all families have what they need to thrive.

    Abstract: This book provides an overall history of the regional theatre movement in the US, while also utilizing specific accomplishments and failures in addition to crucial administrative and artistic decisions to chart larger developments in American theatre, most notably the craze for new play development, the death of resident companies in professional theatres, the passion to reflect social causes (especially social justice and the #MeToo movement), and the troubling economic state of contemporary regional theatres. The wide-ranging topics in the book examine all aspects of theatre, including its creation and reception, and provide the reader with an interdisciplinary understanding of how the establishment and growth of regional theatres reflected local economic and social developments. Jeffrey Ullom teaches theatre history and dramaturgy at Case Western Reserve University, USA, and serves as Director of Undergraduate Studies for the department. His research interests have focused on contemporary American theatre, especially new play development in the regional theatre circuit and on Broadway. Previous publications include The Humana Festival: A History of New Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville (2008), and America’s First Regional Theatre (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014). .

    Abstract: This second edition offers a primer on the valuation of startups and scaleups. Innovative startups are characterized by high growth potential that usually absorbs liquidity. These features are unattractive for traditional banks, which are replaced by other specialized intermediaries such as venture capital or private equity funds, which diversify their portfolios and base their strategies on a multi-year exit. Startups coexist in an evolving ecosystem with established firms, to which they transfer innovativeness, technology, flexibility, and time-to-market speed, contributing to reinventing the business models and receiving feedback from mature firms on the current market features, the existing clients, and their unsatisfied needs. The valuation paradigms represent a central issue for any startup seeking external finance, either from family and friends or through a wider professional network. This updated book, complemented by practical cases (for instance, FinTechs, digital platforms, and e-Health applications), offers a guide to practitioners, students, and academics about the trendy valuation patterns of startups based on their strategic business planning. Roberto Moro-Visconti is a professor of Corporate Finance at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, Italy. He also leads Studio Moro-Visconti, a financial consultancy specializing in intellectual property appraisal grounded in a long-standing tradition of professional consulting.

    Abstract: This book brings together its contributors to study the figure of Seignelay Colbert de Castlehill, born in Inverness on 13th August 1735 into a Presbyterian family and who died in London, an anti-Concordant bishop and leader of the ‘Little Church’ on 15th July 1811. Vicar general of Loménie de Brienne in Toulouse, frequenting the Parisian salons, he was the guide of the economist Adam Smith in Toulouse and in the Southwest, from Bordeaux to Montpellier, from March 1764 to October 1765. In 1782, he was elevated to the episcopal see of Rodez and became president of the provincial assembly of Haute-Guyenne. As a representative of the clergy of Rouergue in 1789, he was one of the French bishops who rallied to the Third Estate, allowing the Estates-General to become the National Assembly. He has however escaped the prosopography of the French Revolution, as well as Scottish historiography. Alain Alcouffe is Emeritus Professor of Economics at University Toulouse Capitole, France. .

    Abstract: Across three centuries, AJYB has provided insight into major trends. Part I of the current volume contains eight chapters: The first lead chapter includes an Audit of Antisemitic Incidents in 2023 produced by the ADL, and the second chapter examines Denominational Identity and Jewish Engagement. Subsequent chapters analyze recent domestic and international events as they affect the American Jewish community, major events in the past year, and the demography and geography of the US, Canada, and World Jewish populations. Part II contains nine chapters: lists of local Jewish organizations; Jewish museums, and Holocaust museums and monuments; overnight camps; national Jewish organizations; Jewish press; Jewish academic programs; Jewish academic resources; Jewish honorees; and Jewish obituaries. This volume employs an accessible style, making it of interest to public officials, Jewish professional and lay leaders, as well as the general public and academic researchers. For more than a century, the American Jewish Year Book has served as an indispensable compendium of Jewish demographic trends, research and data. It is considered a must-read for data scientists, demographers, community leaders or anyone interested in the trends that make up the lifeblood of the Jewish experience in America. We are proud of our contributions to this essential resource. —Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO and National Director of ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) The American Jewish Year Book is a unique resource of tremendous value to anyone interested in global Jewish life. It is critical for people today, and it will be for those who come after us. Its lists capture not only critical information about key aspects of Jewish communal life, but provide the opportunity for reflection, comparison, and analysis with other religious and ethnic communities. —Riv-Ellen Prell, Professor Emerita, American Studies and the Center for Jewish Studies, University of Minnesota.

    Abstract: Chapter 1. Empathy as Perception of Psycho-Physical Spiritual Unity -- Chapter 2. The Nature of the Human Person -- Chapter 3. The Feeling, Willing, and Valuing Person -- Chapter 4. Stein’s Spiritual Influences -- Chapter 5. Personal Relation and Community: the Spiritual Life as Expressive.
    Abstract: This book examines and elucidates the concept of spirit in Stein’s philosophical work, particularly the role it plays in her philosophical anthropology and her understanding of intersubjectivity and community. Although she draws from and synthesizes the ideas of thinkers such as Husserl, Dilthey, and Conrad-Martius, Stein’s approach is distinctive and uniquely suited to comprehensively addressing these topics and questions. Despite the significance of the notion of spirit, however, very little Stein scholarship focuses directly on examining it, and there has never been an attempt to trace its development over the whole of Stein’s corpus. This book fills this lacuna by undertaking a comprehensive study of Stein’s understanding of spirit. The author argues that the key to understanding Stein’s notion of spirit is to understand it as expressive, and in so doing to recognize expression as a fundamental characteristic of the human person. This view of the person as expressive provides an understanding of the person as an embodied being that lives in the world and shares it with other embodied beings, but in this very living and sharing, moves beyond the material bounds of embodiment and constitutes the world as a world of meaning and value. The notion of expression is not only crucial to making sense of Stein’s own account of spirit, but furthermore, provides a way of understanding the person as inextricably bound up in community without compromising the individual. In going out toward others in spiritual expression, one not only forms community with the other; one also becomes more oneself. Thus, Stein’s understanding of spirit as fundamentally expressive helps make sense of what it means to be an individual human being and what it means to be a part of the human community. This volume appeals to students and scholars working in phenomenology.

    Abstract: This book highlights the latest technological innovations in economics education. Economics, as a discipline, not only studies the relationship between ends and scarce means, which can be used alternatively, but also serves as a social science that uses historical data to predict future events—a task complicated by the influence of human behavior. In economics, a solid theoretical foundation alone is insufficient; practical application requires a deep understanding of statistics. With the vast amount of information available today, data processing is now performed using specialized software. Consequently, teaching economics demands a wide range of complex skills that have significantly evolved in recent years, driven by the growing interest in educational innovation among professors and scientists, further accelerated by advancements in new technologies. Moreover, economics education is increasingly aligned with the global concern for sustainability, as emphasized in the United Nations' Agenda 2030. Professors are now integrating sustainability into syllabi and teaching methodologies. This book covers key topics such as: Technological and innovative advancements in economics education. New teaching-learning theories and models in economics education. The impact of digital transformation on economics education. The role of artificial intelligence in economics education. Addressing special educational needs in economics education. Evaluation of the teaching-learning process in economics. Assessment of student learning in economics. Development of materials and tools for economics education. Final projects (Undergraduate and Master's) in economics. Authored by leading professors and researchers in the field, this book presents a collection of chapters that rigorously explore teaching innovations in economics.
    Note: "Teaching Innovations in Economics. Towards a Sustainable World is one of the outcomes to emerge from the First International Conference on Teaching Innovations in Economics organized by the International Association of Applied Economics ASEPELT (www.asepelt.org), which was held at the Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche on July 19, 2024. While it is the first such product, there will be many more because ASEPELT fully believes that teaching innovations in economics must hold a privileged position in university education in this field." - Seite x

    Abstract: Theatre has long been an art form at the centre of public life in Poland. Whether it is the self-professed poet-prophets of the Romantic era, or the dissident theatre makers working under the strictures of state socialism, the art form has played a vital role in the development of Polish culture and politics in the context of shifting foreign occupations. This book explores the relationship between contemporary Polish theatre makers and contemporary notions of Polishness and argues that queer theory, and specifically a Polish appropriation of queer theory, can be a crucial element to better understand the politicality of the contemporary Polish theatre field. It does this by focusing on critical theatre productions which are produced at the margins of the Polish theatre field, a choice which has been made as the field is dominated by traditional drama theatres which reproduce a Polish variation on the Western canon. This makes smaller, atypical, and independent theatre productions all the more significant, as they signify a refusal to continue the traditional role of the Polish theatre field in reproducing the canon of Polish Romanticism. As such, the book argues that contemporary Polish theatre has been marked by a struggle between those building performances and state authorities that see those creations as a threat to their authority. Jonas Vanderschueren is a postdoctoral researcher at the Cultural Studies Institute of KU Leuven, Belgium, where he specializes in contemporary Polish theatre, performance, and culture. He recently obtained his Ph.D. in Cultural Studies, which investigated the artistic strategies that contemporary Polish makers have developed to resist the pressures to comply with Polish normativity, an inseparable collision between Polish nationalism and heteronormativity. He is currently working on REFAM, a CELSA-funded research collaboration between KU Leuven, University of Tartu, and Jagiellonian University. Previously he was affiliated with the Department for Central and Eastern European Languages and Cultures of Ghent University, while he has also worked as a freelance journalist for publications as diverse as Knack, MO*, SamPol, Etcetera, and Jacobin NL.

    Abstract: Drawing on the author's four decades of experience as a concert oboist, this open access book studies a number of foundational issues in the philosophy of music, such as musical meaning and expression, musical ontology and the existence of the musical work, the relation between music and language, and the phenomenology of music. The book surveys the development of Western classical music from the Baroque era through to the 20th century, both from the perspective of contemporary Lithuanian philosophers such as Girnius, Maceina, Šliogeris, and Jackūnas, and 20th century European philosophy. In addition to discussing key questions in the philosophy of music, the book also analyses technical musical terms such as articulation, phrasing, and rhythm. Juozas Rimas was the leading Lithuanian oboist of his generation and is currently professor of music at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. He has premiered over 40 works for oboe (many of them dedicated to him) and was the first wind player in Lithuania to have performed a solo recital back in 1971. He is the recipient of an award from the President of the Republic of Lithuania for his lifetime contribution to Lithuanian culture and art. Professor Rimas’ musical career has comprised hundreds of performances of classical music in all forms (orchestra, ensemble, and solo) as well as jazz improvisations and Lithuanian folk songs sung by the author, 16 LP and CD recordings, and over 150 recordings for Lithuanian State Radio. Dr Juozas Rimas Jr is the editor and co-translator of this book (assisting the main translator, Jeremy Hill), and author of the appendices and footnotes. He obtained a doctorate in law from Vilnius University in 2010 and is a practising lawyer in the field of corporate law. He is also the editor of the original Lithuanian edition of Etudes on the Philosophy of Music, published in 2020. .
