The Socialist Market Economy in Asia - - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

The Socialist Market Economy in Asia - - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

This book is intended for policy-makers, academics and students of development studies, area studies, political economy, geography and political science. Three of the best global performers in terms of economic growth are authoritarian states led by communist parties. The ''socialist market economy'' model employed in China, Vietnam and Laos performs better than the economic systems in countries at a similar level of income per capita on a wide range of development indicators, yet market reforms and governance failures have led to highly unequal societies and significant environmental problems. This book presents the first comparative study of development in these three countries. Written by country experts and scholars of development studies, it explores the ongoing quest for market versus state within their model, and the coherence of their development. Chapter 5 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

The Unfit Brain and the Limits of Moral Bioenhancement - Fabrice Jotterand - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

The Unfit Brain and the Limits of Moral Bioenhancement - Fabrice Jotterand - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

In light of the potential novel applications of neurotechnologies in psychiatry and the current debate on moral bioenhancement, this book outlines the reasons why more conceptual work is needed to inform the scientific and medical community, and society at large, about the implications of moral bioenhancement before a possible, highly hypothetical at this point, broad acceptance, and potential implementation in areas such as psychiatry (e.g., treatment of psychopathy), or as a measure to prevent crime in society. The author does not negate the possibility of altering or manipulating moral behavior through technological means. Rather he argues that the scope of interventions is limited because the various options available to "enhance morality" improve, or simply manipulate, some elements of moral behavior and not the moral agent per se in the various elements constitutive of moral agency. The concept of Identity Integrity is suggested as a potential framework for a responsible use of neurotechnologies in psychiatry to avoid human beings becoming orderers and orderables of technological manipulations.

Challenges and Opportunities of Circular Economy in Agri-Food Sector - - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

Challenges and Opportunities of Circular Economy in Agri-Food Sector - - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

Global population by 2050 is predicted to be over 9 billion and accordingly, the production systems will demolish about 140 billion tons per year of minerals, ores, fossil fuels and biomass, i.e., thrice of the current need, and the food production itself has to be doubled. Optimized resource usage, lifecycle management, and reduced carbon emission have become a priority for agri-food businesses today, and circular economy (CE) helps for a sustainable and flexible way to grow without exhausting primary materials, and it thinks beyond recycling and resource usage. The word CE best relates to the resource and efficiency management, 6Rs, closed-loop production systems, zero waste and lifecycle engineering, reduced overconsumption of resources and waste generation, enriched system redesign and business model innovation, thereby leading to sustainable development goals. In this light, the book calls for theoretical and empirically sound contributions that are focused on the different aspects of the circular economy, 6R''s, sustainable production and consumption, closed-loop systems, etc. in the agri-food sector.

Spent Nuclear Fuel and Accelerator-Driven Subcritical Systems - Karel Katovsky - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

Spent Nuclear Fuel and Accelerator-Driven Subcritical Systems - Karel Katovsky - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuels, and discusses the applications of radiation, particularly spallation neutrons and gamma rays. The unspent nuclear fuel of a reactor amounts to roughly 95 per cent of the loaded fuel. It contains both fertile and fissile fuels, minor and higher actinides and radioactive fission products. In 2015, out of approximately 4 million metric tons of spent fuel, only 90,000 metric tons was reprocessed worldwide; the rest was either sent to repositories, kept for cooling down, or put on a waiting list for future reprocessing. With regard to the direct reutilization of spent nuclear fuel, the new technique of ''Energy Amplifiers'' has attracted considerable attention among the nuclear energy community. Presenting extensive information on this technique, the book is divided into eight major sections: (i) spent nuclear fuel and alternative transmutation methods, (ii) general concept of accelerator-driven subcritical systems (ADSS), (iii) spallation neutron sources and the possibility of incineration, (iv) requirements for nuclear data, (v) transmutation of spent nuclear fuel and extension of the fuel cycle, (vi) spallation neutron production facilities, (vii) major experimental facilities for ADSS, and (viii) software tools for the design and modelling of ADSS. The book is ideally suited as a textbook for graduate students as well as a reference guide for researchers and practitioners.

When 5G Meets Industry 4.0 - Longxiang Gao - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

When 5G Meets Industry 4.0 - Longxiang Gao - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

Since the 1980s, mobile communication has undergone major transitions from 1G to 4G, at a rate of roughly one generation per decade. And the next upgrade is set to come soon, with 5G heralding a new era of large-bandwidth Internet, and a multi-connection, low-latency Internet of Everything. 5G technology will be the standard for next-generation mobile Internet, and it will not only enhance the individual user''s experience, but also provide technical support for artificial-intelligence-based applications, such as smart manufacturing, smart healthcare, smart government, smart cities and driverless cars. As a result, 5G is regarded as the "infrastructure" of the industrial Internet and artificial intelligence and both China and the United States are striving to become the 5G leader and spearhead this new generation of international mobile communication standards. Though trade tensions between China and the United States continue to escalate, with products ranging from soybeans to mobile phones and automobiles being affected, 5G technology may be the true cause of trade wars between the world''s top two economies. In short, 5G will change not only society, but also international trade patterns. This book describes various 5G scenarios, changes and values; explains the standards, technologies and development directions behind 5G; and explores new models, new formats and new trends in 5G-based artificial intelligence.

Designing Service Machines - Paul Lillrank - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

Designing Service Machines - Paul Lillrank - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

This book presents a general conceptual framework to translate principles of system science and engineering to service design. Services are co-created immaterial, heterogeneous, and perishable state changes. A service system includes the intended benefit to the customer and the structure and processes that accomplish this benefit. The primary focus is on the part of the service system that can reproduce such processes, called here a Service Machine, and methodological guidelines on how to analyze and design them. While the benefit and the process are designed based on the domain knowledge of each respective field, service production systems have common properties. The Service Machine is a metaphor that elicits the fundamental characteristics of service systems that do something efficiently, quickly, or repeatedly for a defined end. A machine is an artifact designed for a purpose, has several parts, such as inputs, energy flows, processors, connectors, and motors assembled as per design specifications. In case of service machine, the components are various contracts assembled on contractual frames. The book discusses Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Emergency Departments (ED) as cases. They illustrate that service machines need to be structured to adapt to the constraints of the served market acknowledging the fact that services are co-created through the integration of producers'' and customers'' resources. This book is highly recommended for those who are interested in understanding the fundamental concepts of designing service machines.

Modern Approach to Educational Data Mining and Its Applications - Soni Sweta - Bog - Springer Verlag, Singapore - Plusbog.dk

This book emphasizes that learning efficiency of the learners can be increased by providing personalized course materials and guiding them to attune with suitable learning paths based on their characteristics such as learning style, knowledge level, emotion, motivation, self-efficacy and many more learning ability factors in e-learning system. Learning is a continuous process since human evolution. In fact, it is related to life and innovations. The basic objective of learning to grow, aspire and develop ease of life remains the same despite changes in the learning methodologies. Introduction of computers empowered us to attain new zenith in knowledge domain, developed pragmatic approach to solve life''s problem and helped us to decipher different hidden patterns of data to get new ideas. Of late, computers are predominantly used in education. Its process has been changed from offline to online in view of enhancing the ease of learning. With the advent of information technology, e-learning has taken centre stage in educational domain. In e-learning context, developing adaptive e-learning system is buzzword among contemporary research scholars in the area of Educational Data Mining (EDM). Enabling personalized systems is meant for improvement in learning experience for learners as per their choices made or auto-detected needs. It helps in enhancing their performance in terms of knowledge, skills, aptitudes and preferences. It also enables speeding up the learning process qualitatively and quantitatively. These objectives are met only by the Personalized Adaptive E-learning Systems in this regard. Many noble frameworks were conceptualized, designed and developed to infer learning style preferences, and accordingly, learning materials were delivered adaptively to the learners. Designing frameworks help to measure learners'' preferences minutely and provide adaptive learning materials to them in a way most appropriately.
