Human Interaction with Technology for Working, Communicating, and Learning: Advancements
An Excellent Addition to Your Library! Released: December 2011 Human Interaction with Technology for Working, Communicating, and Learning: Advancements Anabela Mesquita (ISCAP/IPP and Algoritmi Centre, University of Minho, Portugal) The way humans interact with technology is undergoing a tremendous change. It is hard to imagine the lives we live today without the benefits of technology that we take for granted. Applying research in computer science, engineer- ing, and information systems to non-technical descriptions of technology, such as human interaction, has shaped and continues to shape our lives. Human Interaction with Technology for Working, Communicating, and Learning: Advancements provides a framework for conceptual, theoretical, and applied research in regards to the relationship between technology and humans. This book is unique in the sense that it does not only cover technology, but also science, research, and the relationship between these fields and individuals’ experience. This book is a must have for anyone interested in this research area, as it provides a voice for all users and a look into our future. Topics Covered: • Anthropological Consequences • Philosophy of Technology • Experiential Learning • Responsibility of Artificial Agents • Influence of Gender on Technology • Technological Risks and Their Human Basis • Knowledge Management • Technology Assessments • Perceptions and Conceptualizations • Technology Ethics of Technology • Phenomenology of E-Government ISBN: 9781613504659; © 2012; 421 pp. Print: US $175.00 | Perpetual: US $265.00 | Print + Perpetual: US $350.00 Market: This premier publication is essential for all academic and research library reference collections.

Second Call for Papers
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd FRENCH CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACCOUNTING RESEARCH (3rd CSEAR France Conference) June 11-12, 2015 ESSEC Business School, France The Centre for Social and Environmental Accounting Research (CSEAR) has held an annual conference in the UK (often referred to as the Summer School) for more than two decades, as well as in other parts of the world for several years in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and in both North and South Americas. Similar to other CSEAR conferences, the 3rd CSEAR France Conference will be a deliberately informal discussion forum gathering researchers, teachers, students and practitioners at all levels of experience to further enhance research in new instruments, policies and strategies related to social and environmental accounting in the very widest sense. The spirit of the conference is interdisciplinary and focuses on a high level of interaction, discussion and debate in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. As such, research papers from perspectives beyond accounting and management control such as organizational theory, marketing, finance, strategy, etc., are welcome. The conference will provide participants an opportunity to present their research projects, ranging from discussing preliminary findings to full papers. Submissions are welcome in either French or English. For this 3rd CSEAR France conference, we are pleased to welcome Professor Brendan O’Dwyer, Professor of Accounting at the University of Amsterdam, as our plenary speaker. For the practitioner forum, we are equally pleased to welcome Adam Koniuszewski, Chief Operating Officer at Green Cross International. There will also be a Special Issue of Advances in Environmental Accounting and Management on the “Current Developments in Social and Environmental Accounting” (a call for papers has been issued and is available on the conference website). -
Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities
Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities Sito: http://nturanking.lis.ntu.edu.tw/ Nazione: Taiwan Il ranking viene pubblicato dalla National Taiwan University Ranking dal 2007. La classifica è basata su una serie di indicatori bibliometrici (8 raggruppati in 3 aree) ricavabili dalla banca dati Clarivate Analitics. Le aree riguardano Produttività, Impatto ed Eccellenza della ricerca scientifica, con peso rispettivamente 25%, 35%, 40%. 7 indicatori su 8 dipendono dalla dimensione degli atenei, pertanto questo ranking è molto influenzato dal fattore dimensionale.

In this paper, we take a different perspective. In our view, constructing a high-quality university ranking requires not only an advanced understanding of methodological issues but also a sufficient level of knowledge of the way in which university rankings are used. The use of university rankings has been studied using questionnaires and interviews (e.g., Hazelkorn, 2015). We take an alternative approach by analyzing the activities of visitors of a university ranking website. -

Since its outbreak in 2020, the pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-Cov-2 has already resulted in millions of lives lost and inflicted untold human misery and suffering to people globally. The Centre for Non-Traditional Security (NTS) Studies of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Nanyang Technological University, is one of the leading centres in Asia that highlights the critical linkages between non-traditional security challenges, like climate change and health security, to national and global security. As we have seen, the COVID-19 pandemic is more than a public health emergency of international concern. Its severe impacts cut across economic security, food security, environmental security and personal security, among others. As the international community continues to grapple with the consequential impact of COVID-19, it is sobering to note that other pandemics are expected to emerge. Thus, the need to advance the global agenda of pandemic preparedness and response cannot be overstated given the evolving nature of emerging infectious diseases. -
