This book, and the papers published within it, delves into the topic of governance in a modern, digital age, deliberating upon digital finance, societal security, and digital governance, proving essential to governmental institutions, policymakers, economists, and finally, social educators. The formation of a prosperous and resilient society is, without a doubt, a daunting, monumental task. Addressing people’s needs, maintaining their well-being, ensuring safety from external threats, and implementing a just law system that covers contemporary ways of life are no simple task. Thankfully, the advent of technological advancement helps lighten the heavy burden of governance. The element of interconnectedness brought forward by technological innovation has bridged the gap between society and government, allowing for faster interactions through the digitalization of naturally bureaucratic processes, and the utilization of digital finances.

Free Download Stephen A. Mitchell, "Old Norse Folklore: Tradition, Innovation, and Performance in Medieval Scandinavia "
English | ISBN: 1501773402 | 2023 | 360 pages | PDF | 7 MB
The medieval northern world consisted of a vast and culturally diverse region both geographically, from roughly Greenland to Novgorod and culturally, as one of the last areas of Europe to be converted to Christianity. Old Norse Folklore explores the complexities of this fascinating world in case studies and theoretical essays that connect orality and performance theory to memory studies, and myths relating to pre-Christian Nordic religion to innovations within late medieval pilgrimage song culture.

Free Download Magnetic Levitation: Innovation of Density-Based Applications by Peng Zhao
English | January 5, 2024 | ISBN: 9819983134 | 217 pages | MOBI | 25 Mb
This book introduces the MagLev testing method for density measurement and density-based applications of diamagnetic and low-magnetic objects using permanent magnets. The book surveys the most relevant papers on the theory and model of various MagLev methods that have become the foundation to elucidate the principles of MagLev and the conditions for stable levitation. A thorough summary of the improvements demonstrates the applications and potential of the MagLev method in many fields. This book is separated into 11 chapters to present MagLev testing method fully, including a review of the background of MagLev, theories and basic principles of the stable levitation of object, different dimensions of applications of MagLev in the fields of mechanical engineering, chemistry, and bioengineering, and sophisticated applications of manipulation and separation.

Free Download Innovation in Vaccinology: from design, through to delivery and testing By Laura Serino, Kate L. Seib, Mariagrazia Pizza (auth.), Selene Baschieri (eds.)

Prevention of infectious diseases by vaccination is one of the most significant achievements of modern medicine. During the 20th century, the average human life span in the developed world was about 70 years and it is expected to increase, with a significant portion of this increase directly attributed to vaccination. Since the first empiric vaccination trials, knowledge and technology have enormously evolved and new vaccination strategies are emerging on the market. Indeed, in spite of the great success, conventional vaccination strategies sometimes may result ineffective and, above all, may raise safety concerns. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of some of the technology platforms that have been realized or are currently under development to try to address unsolved and new issues in the field of vaccine development. Common denominator of all thematic areas described herein is the multidisciplinary teamwork. Most of the enabling technologies have been established by putting in the "melting pot" expertise in fields that, at first glance, may appear very far apart. I hope that this collection of articles will make the readers aware that vaccinology is rapidly taking a new direction, ceasing to be an empirical science.

Free Download Teaching Innovation in Architecture and Building Engineering: Challenges of the 21st century by David Bienvenido-Huertas, María Luisa de la Hoz-Torres, Antonio Jesús Aguilar Aguilera
English | EPUB (True) | 2024 | 643 Pages | ISBN : 3031596439 | 121 MB
This book presents contributions on teaching innovation in university architecture and building engineering studies. The authors explain how the construction sector demands that future architects and building engineers have the knowledge and skills that allow them to meet the decarbonization objectives established by international organizations and that this causes the level of knowledge to be higher. The contributors further discuss new technologies and the internationalization of studies presenting new challenges university studies must face. This heterogeneity is represented in the chapters that make up this book developed by researchers from different countries. The book is divided into three blocks: (i) Active learning methodologies; (ii) Innovative methodologies applied to learning process; and (iii) Traditional vs. Advanced Techniques. The chapters of the book represent an advance in the current knowledge of teaching innovation techniques in university architecture and building engineering studies.

In light of this, D’Alvia provides unique financial knowledge and delivers a book that constitutes an outstanding introduction to the topic of the speculator through its historical account and its evolution till modern days. Academics, lawyers, financial regulators, and retail and qualified investors should save a space for it on their shelves.
