This book explores theories and brings empirical evidence of innovations in learning and teaching and practice-driven leadership and governance of higher education institutions across developed and developing countries aiming to recover and sustain during and after the COVID-19 Pandemic. A fresh managerial approach to identifying the critical challenges, opportunities and strategies of higher education services management is the fundamental essence of this book. The book includes unique chapters, and these are carefully designed. This book has original scholarly contributions, including case studies, and explains how higher education institutions can deal with the challenges of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The cross-cultural insights of both public and private sector higher education institutions across the globe are a helpful guide for academics, researchers, advanced students, and practitioners to identify and understand the best practices about what worked well and what did not during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The chapters help formulate a strategic recovery plan for higher education institutions to mitigate the challenges of the post-Covid-19 Pandemic.

The book is about accountability processes and how they contribute solutions to our current environmental and global political problems. This book is different to other literature in this field. This is so because the dominant accountability discourse is shaped by what is defined as a neoliberal business case for social and environmental reform. This book assumes a nirvana stance within globalisation where all citizens operate within the parameters of the free market and will recover from adverse economic and political damage. Further this book uses neoliberalism and free-market reforms aims as examples to implement efficient management technologies and create more competitive pressures. Central to the argument of the book are perspectives on authenticity, expressivism and interpretivism which are found to provide a radical reworking of our understanding of being in the world. These frameworks offer a starting point for rethinking the way individuals, businesses and communities ought to be dealing politically with accountability and ecological crises. The argument builds to an accountability perspective that utilises work from expressivism, interpretivism, classical liberalism and postmodern theory. The theoretical quest undertaken in this book is to develop connections between accountability, democratic, ethical and ecological perspectives.

An exploration of the interplay between social responsibility, entrepreneurship and the common good which is organized into four sections: business and the common good; educating responsible entrepreneurs; corporate social responsibility (CSR) challenges and the common good; and CSR and entrepreneurship in emerging economies

Palliative care in Angola is still in the early stages of development, reflected in the lack of preparation of nurses in their technical training to intervene in palliative care.The aim of this study was to assess the perception of nursing students regarding the inclusion of palliative care in their undergraduate curricula, as well as to determine the importance they attach to this training and preparation for caring for patients in palliative care.109 nursing students (55.3% female) from the Instituto Superior de Ciências de Saúde and the Escola Superior Politécnica do Moxico answered a questionnaire on attitudes towards palliative care. The results revealed that the majority of students had not had contact with essential topics related to palliative care throughout their training.The students emphasized the importance of including palliative care in the compulsory curriculum of the nursing course. Based on the perceptions of Angolan nursing students, we conclude that training in palliative care during the course is not adequate to develop the necessary skills in this area.

The figure of the foreign woman forms a central core of a mythologized West, and is the most common imported character. It has served, in turn, as a pretext for tackling the Western adventure, approaching the foreign woman and giving vent to the reveries and imaginings of the Arab character and his visions of an unknown feminine universe. Almost all Arab writers have used this female figure to express their opinions, impressions and fantasies about the West and its women. Moreover, as we shall see, her representation is varied, not static.

Os urbanos são a parte mais importante da civilização. A civilização é a acumulação total da humanidade. O mundo antigo continua a ser o centro do mundo atual também em termos de mente, sociedade, civilização e valores morais. A Turquia é um país vizinho e fronteiriço na ala sudeste da UE. Mais uma vez, a UE não é interrompida por estradas para o Extremo Oriente com a rota do Norte da Europa. A UE abastece-se de grandes quantidades de mercadorias provenientes do Extremo Oriente. A Turquia deve criar uma estrutura alternativa de sub-rotas para este fluxo de mercadorias. A este respeito, o sistema de transportes da UE é muito importante para a Turquia. A posição histórica do Mediterrâneo no eixo do comércio mundial é um facto. A UE desenvolve uma política intensiva de transportes terrestres na Europa Ocidental e marítimos no Mediterrâneo.

Dieses Open-Access-Buch gibt aktuelle interdisziplinäre Forschungseinblicke rund um das Fab City-Konzept. Ein Ansatz, der beschreibt, wie Produktions- und Konsumptionsweisen gestaltet werden können, sodass einerseits globale Kollaboration in und durch Communities von der Ideengenerierung bis zur Produktentwicklung physischer Güter mittels quelloffener Technologien (Open Source Software und Hardware) ermöglicht wird und andererseits die Produktion dieser Güter lokal und somit möglichst nahe am Ort des Bedarfs sowie dezentral im Sinne einer verteilten Produktion erfolgen kann, beispielsweise in Fab(rication) Labs. Ziel ist die Schaffung einer möglichst nachhaltigen Produktion bzw. Wertschöpfung. Ökologisch nachhaltig, indem lange Transportwege vermieden und auf Grundlage von Kreislaufprinzipien lokale Stoffkreisläufe geschlossen werden. Ökonomisch nachhaltig, indem durch quelloffene Technologien Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen und durch föderierte Ansätze Abhängigkeiten vermieden werden. Sozial nachhaltig durch ein partizipatives Wertschöpfungssystem, in dem der Zugang zu Wissen und Knowhow sowie zu Produktionsmitteln unbeschränkt ist. Über den gesamten Produktentstehungsprozess und -lebenszyklus enthält das vorliegende, bilinguale Werk in deutscher und englischer Sprache Beiträge aus den Bereichen Citizen & Collaborative Innovation and Design, Circular Design & Economy, Open-Source-Software-Tools für die Entwicklung von Open Source Hardware, Digital Product Passport, föderierte (Open-Source-) Systeme, die Verbreitung von Open Source Hardware sowie technical literacy und economic governance.Prof. Neil Gershenfeld, Director of MIT¿s Center for Bits and Atoms, and Chairman of the board of The Fab Foundation:¿For many years the growth of cities has been an inexorable trend, with cities acting as regional magnets and engines;the resources enabling a Fab City can also help expand opportunity beyond cities. There is now an opportunity and need for labs that can develop, deploy, and measure the frontiers of Fab City technologies. This book provides a much-needed snapshot of the current state of that challenge.¿Tomas Diez, Executive Director of the Fab City Foundation: ¿This book is an invitation for large-scale collaboration to build distributed system that can support the development of alternative modes of production, in line with the social and ecological needs of our time.¿

The book is a collection of social and family short stories and cultural problems.He sometimes lifted his rough, wrinkled hands from his ears, and the sound of the hustle and bustle of the crowd and the cars left in traffic resonated in his head. He preferred to drown in a silent and obscure world where he could only hear the sound of his heavy breathing. His face full of pain and sad look told of the hard times time in his life. These damn days must pass so that may be an excruciating death that will come to him and take his revenge on life. His white hair, which extended to his side-whiskers, was reminiscent of the boring and irritating days he had gone through. There is no evidence better than white hair to show pain.

Urbans are the most important part of the civilization. Civilization is total cumulation of humanity. Transportation is bridge between history and technology, urban and civilization, communities and environment, military and states.Ancient world is still the center of today's world too in terms of mind, society, civilization, moral values. Turkey is a neighbouring and bordering country in the southeastern wing of the EU. Again, the EU is uninterrupted by roads to the Far East with the Northern European route. The EU supplies large quantities of goods from the Far East. Turkey must create an alternative subroute structure to this flow of goods. In this respect, the EU transport system is very important to Turkey. The Mediterranean's historic position within the world trade axis is a matter of fact. The EU is pursuing an intensive transport policy on land in Western Europe and in the Mediterranean by sea.

Shilajit or salajeet is natural organic-mineral product of predominantly natural biological origin, formed in the mountains (in mountain crevices and caves). Shilajit is a sticky, tar-like substance found in the rocks of the Himalayas, Altai, Caucasus, and other mountain ranges. Shilajit is not derived from a plant, instead, it is a complex organic-mineral substance that oozes out of the rocks in mountainous regions. The formation of Shilajit is a result of the decomposition of plant and microbial matter over centuries. Shilagit has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and is believed to have various health benefits. It is often consumed as a dietary supplement and is rich in minerals, and other organic compounds.

Effective leadership is a commitment to interaction and connection with people, some of whom are difficult to deal with on occasion.One thing I have learned over many years, in a variety of leadership and team roles, is conflict naturally happens when people come together. Conflict results when people with varying viewpoints, cultures, experiences and agendas attempt to connect or co-operate in a relationship, a venture or even a common cause of great importance. CONFLICT is simply a bi-product of the interaction and connection between people. Handling it effectively is a part of the leadership process! Resolve to be an 'effective' leader and welcome 'creative conflict' as an opportunity to help your team grow and succeed. Canada's Ideaman, Bob Hooey, partners with committed leaders and organizations to equip and motivate for profitable grown and enhanced success.

The book brings together perspectives on entrepreneurship research, education and practice to understand social entrepreneurship in its wider societal, political and economic context. Its unique contribution comes from its interdisciplinary approach that spans from the societal to the organizational level, with specific focus social innovation and management. It views management of social entrepreneurship and social enterprise in light of its societal context and employs social innovation to critically assess social entrepreneurship as driver of change. The emergence of social entrepreneurship as an academic field is linked to several societal trends such as public austerity, financial crises, new social challenges and a growing counter-movement to globalised capitalism. Generally seen as organisations serving both social and economic objectives, social enterprises, social innovation and social entrepreneurship have their roots in civil society, civic activism or the solidarityeconomy, but also manifest themselves as for-profit companies, with new organisational forms emerging and old ones changing. The contributions in this book elucidate these developments and the role of social entrepreneurs and social enterprises. Furthermore, the book offers great insight into the specific ways of managing, leading and creating innovation in social enterprises as well as perspectives on how to understand their social impact or value creation.

This book investigates the lived experience of CEOs in their quest for wholeness and presents a model of spiritual intelligence for contemporary leadership. The experience of ethical and spiritual crisis in the post-modern society especially in organizational leadership, calls for deeper quest and spiritual intelligence. Four essential themes emerged from the analysis of the in-depth interviews with top leaders of different organizations across the globe: (1) Sensing Crisis, (2) Embracing Crisis (3) Awakening Hidden Wholeness, (4) and Serving Greater Good. From the analysis of the themes, a model of spiritual intelligence and leadership wholeness is constructed. This Spiritual Intelligence Model portrays the intra-dynamics of leaders¿ ongoing quest for wholeness penetrating through their existential, learning, spiritual, and moral dimensions of being and the five ethical dimensions of wholeness permeating through the personal, organizational, social, global, and environmental spheres of life. This book gives a fresh perspective on spiritual intelligence and leadership practice today.

Leadership is a fundamental factor for the success or failure of any organization, group, community, or nation. This book explores how to build effective leadership that will enhance or fast-track growth and development at national and organizational levels. Scholars and development experts have identified failure of leadership by Africäs ruling class as the major cause of the continent's lag in development. The book is the outcome of a study set out to explore the connection between bad leadership and underdevelopment challenges faced on the African continent and to propose a solution to the problem. It proposes the development of transformational leadership culture as an ethical intervention to solve these challenges that have kept sub-Saharan Africa from achieving its development potentials. It equally identifies the role of global consultants, and recommends their involvement in birthing new leadership culture and systems in Africa. Its content is applicable globally as theories, practices, and examples are drawn from various organizations and continents across the world.

In the dynamic landscape of Intelligent Transportation Systems, this research pioneers strategies for efficient route prediction, particularly vital for emergency vehicles (EVs). The HL-CTP model employs incremental learning, enhancing accuracy by fine-tuning predictions based on historical data. Complementing this, the SG-TSE model adjusts traffic lights, minimizing the negative impact of congestion on both regular traffic and EV preemption. Recognizing the limitations of traditional machine learning in Internet of Vehicles networks, our third objective utilizes YOLOv4-based traffic monitoring, incorporating the Kalman filter for real-time IoV environment modeling. Policymakers can leverage this data for informed decisions, improving transportation efficiency, reducing congestion, and enhancing safety. Integrating RSUs efficiently manages network resources, contributes to smarter transportation systems, and elevates urban living standards. In conclusion, this research not only advances route prediction and EV preemption but also adds value to the broader landscape of intelligent and responsive transportation systems, benefiting society at large.
