Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome
by Konstadinos G. Goulias Adam W. DavisMapping the Travel Behavior Genome covers the latest research on the biological, motivational, cognitive, situational, and dispositional factors that drive activity-travel behavior. Organized into three sections, Retrospective and Prospective Survey of Travel Behavior Research, New Research Methods and Findings, and Future Research, the chapters of this book provide evidence of progress made in the most recent years in four dimensions of the travel behavior genome. These dimensions are Substantive Problems, Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks, Behavioral Measurement, and Behavioral Analysis. Including the movement of goods as well as the movement of people, the book shows how traveler values, norms, attitudes, perceptions, emotions, feelings, and constraints lead to observed behavior; how to design efficient infrastructure and services to meet tomorrow's needs for accessibility and mobility; how to assess equity and distributional justice; and how to assess and implement policies for improving sustainability and quality of life. Mapping the Travel Behavior Genome examines the paradigm shift toward more dynamic, user-centric, demand-responsive transport services, including the "sharing economy," mobility as a service, automation, and robotics. This volume provides research directions to answer behavioral questions emerging from these upheavals. - Offers a wide variety of approaches from leading travel behavior researchers from around the world - Provides a complete map of the methods, skills, and knowledge needed to work in travel behavior - Describes the state of the art in travel behavior research, providing key directions for future research

Crusaders and Heretics, Twelfth to Fourteenth Centuries (Variorum Collected Studies)
by Malcolm BarberThese articles seek to understand the attitudes and reactions of medieval society to both external threat and internal dissension, whether real or imagined. The crusaders encompass the Templars and the Knights of St Lazarus, members of military orders committed to the cause of perpetual battle for the faith; more reluctant secular knights urged into the complicated conflicts of Latin Greece by the papacy; and peasant enthusiasts from northern France, ultimately turning their frustration on the clergy and the Jews. Heretics range from Cathars, real opponents of the Church, to the lepers, imaginary subverters of society, allegedly in league with the two other perceived enemies of Western Christendom, the Jews and the Muslims.

Lehre und Forschung: Widerspruch oder Synergie? (Perspektiven der Hochschuldidaktik)
by Jörg Noller Christina Beitz-Radzio Melanie Förg Sandra Eleonore Johst Daniela Kugelmann Sabrina Sontheimer Sören WesterholzDer Sammelband ist der Frage gewidmet, wie sich Forschung und Lehre zueinander verhalten. Hochschulmitarbeitende stehen vor der Herausforderung, Forschung und Lehre in einem Spannungsfeld aus Anreizsystemen, Zeitmangel und persönlichen Interessen unter einen Hut zu bringen. Dabei wird der Renommee bringenden Forschung oftmals der Vorzug gegeben, die Lehre dabei zum notwendigen Übel reduziert. Doch stehen Forschung und Lehre wirklich in einem Widerspruch? Oder ist es nicht auch möglich, dass die Forschung durch die Lehre, und die Lehre durch die Forschung profitiert, so dass zwischen beiden eine synergetische Wechselwirkung bestehen kann?

Robotic Process Automation in Use: Strategic Orientation - Practical Implementation - Audit-Proof Implementation
by Mario Richard Smeets Andreas Freßmann Ralf Jürgen OstendorfFor some years now, the automation of any number of processes and process steps using RPA technology has been keeping the financial sector busy. It has now become an integral part of everyday life in many business areas. How does the technology work, who is responsible and what are the risks of using it in your own bank? This book answers these and many related questions about RPA, which are asked in particular by internal and external auditors, but also by decision-makers. In addition to an introduction to the technology and its classification in a broad, strategic context, the topic of the correct "auditing and assessment" of the technology is discussed.
Humanistic Management in the Gig Economy: Dignity, Fairness and Care (Humanism in Business Series)
by Kemi OgunyemiGig-workers are often not regarded as employees by the platforms they work with. Yet they do not always have all the freedoms enjoyed by independent contractors. The world of work is changing, and this is one area in which the new realities need to be better understood in order to promote human dignity, protect the vulnerable and foster flourishing. To achieve this, justice and fairness need to be researched and innovatively translated into new forms of work in diverse ways and in various cultures. This edited collection explores and examines ways in which the humanistic management and fairness considerations help to humanise the way gig-workers are treated, with particular attention paid to economies in the global south. Countries represented in the case study section are Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Kenya, Nigeria, South Korea, and Uganda, and both traditional and innovative lenses of fairness and ethics are applied to these new forms of work. The book will be of great interest to scholars and students of work and employment, digital business, human resource management and business ethics.

The Laws of Gravity and Electromagnetism: A Non-relativistic Model Invariant Under the Change of Inertial and Non-inertial Coordinate Systems
by Arkady PoliakovskyIn this book the author derives, under the classical non-relativistic consideration of the space-time, general forms of the most common physical laws invariant under the changes of inertial or non-inertial coordinate systems, both in the classical and the quantum regime. Important examples of such invariant physical laws are the Maxwell Equations, Newtonian gravity as well as several more complicated models of gravity and many other physical laws including many of the laws of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical physics, continuum mechanics, and optics. Moreover, several basic laws of relativistic physics, both in the classical and quantum regimes can be still formulated invariantly under the non-relativistic consideration of space-time. These include the classical relativistic Second Law of Newton and the quantum Dirac and Klein--Gordon equations for relativistic particles, including their interaction with the external gravitational field. In particular, we introduce the Hamiltonian formulation of the Dirac equation, and moreover, were able to formulate the Dirac equation for multiple particles, similarly to what was done for the Schroedinger equation of the non-relativistic quantum mechanics. One of the goals of this work is to provide a self-contained and simple mathematical formulation of the most general physical laws in a manner understandable to the reader familiar only with basic calculus, classical mechanics and basic elements of non-relativistic quantum mechanics.
Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors vs. Angiotensin Receptor Blockers: A Critical Analysis of Antihypertensive Strategies: A Machine-Generated Literature Overview
by Mukesh NandaveThis book delves into the various aspects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and its role in cardiovascular disorders. It explores the use of anti-hypertensive agents, with a focus on (ACE) angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). The chapters cover topics such as the preferred use of ACE inhibitors over ARBs in high-risk patients, the impact of these agents on insulin resistance, their role in acute heart failure and peripheral artery disease, and their immunomodulatory activity in hypertensive patients. Additionally, the book examines the role of ACE inhibitors and ARBs in COVID-19 patients and provides insights into recent trends in managing hypertension through RAAS inhibition. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals involved in the field of cardiovascular medicine.
