| Title: Artificial Intelligence: Policy Perspectives and Global Impacts |
| Edited by: Sonja Buckley |
| ISBN13: 9798895308592 |
| Artificial intelligence (AI)â a term generally thought of as computerized systems that work and react in ways commonly thought to require intelligenceâ can encompass a range of technologies, methodologies, and application areas, such as natural language processing, facial recognition, and robotics. The concept of AI has existed for decades, with the term first being coined in the 1950s, followed by alternating periods of much development and lulls in activity and progress. A notable area of recent advancement has been in generative AI (GenAI), which refers to machine learning (ML) models developed through training on large volumes of data in order to generate content. This book provides a brief background on AI technologies and recent advances, including in generative AI (GenAI); benefits and risks of AI tools; current federal laws addressing AI; and perspectives on regulating AI, It also provides an overview of AI in selected sectors. |

| Title: Epilepsy In Pediatric Patients |
| Edited by: Raafat Hammad Seroor Jadah |
| ISBN13: 9798895308783 |
| Epilepsy in pediatric patients is a common neurological disorder which requires an in-depth approach in order to accurately diagnose epilepsy and hence initiate the most appropriate anti-epileptic drug (AED). The management of epilepsy and status epilepticus in children can be challenging, requires advanced techniques to further understand the mechanism and pathogenesis of and therefore necessitates the need for the emergence of new anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) and novel technologies. This book provides an extensive and comprehensive overview of epilepsy including emergency status epilepticus in the pediatric population from basic to most recent updated classification of epilepsy, advanced diagnostic technologies and future management of intractable epilepsy in pediatric patients. |

| Title: Selected Problems of Knowledge Society in the Light of Philosophy |
| By (author): Marián Ambrozy |
| ISBN13: 9798895308837 |
| This book discusses the economic, philosophical, social and pedagogical aspects of the knowledge society. The theoretical part of the work is elaborated based on a number of theoretical approaches of renowned theorists of the knowledge economy, as well as issues closely related to it. The authors introduce the topic of the knowledge economy in the context of Industry 4.0. These are, for example, contexts related to lean production and new technologies. The authors also mention the risks that the latest industrial revolution may bring. The authors compare the views of the various experts dealing with the issue of education. The authors try to find an answer to the question of whether there is a discipline that can play an integrative role in knowledge. The authors consider philosophy to be such a discipline. It also attempts to elaborate on selected inspirational ideas of Peter Drucker. The authors seek to postulate a line of building a knowledge society in such a way that this development avoids the shortcomings pointed out, for example, by Liessmann and Adorno, the authors confront the applicability of modern pedagogical approaches in the sense of transforming a society into a knowledge society. The authors do so also with the intent of informatics realities. The authors critically reflect on selected settings of educational assessment criteria in the European Union. The authors also suggest measures that would help to improve the quality of education. The analytical part is an analysis of questions about the knowledge society and economy with renowned scholars. Among them, the applied physicist Boris Evgenevich Paton stands out. Respondents answered questions concerning the role of marketing in the knowledge economy, structural changes in society, human resource management, the education system, and other contexts. The summary and analysis of the answers focus on the agreement and differences in the respondents' answers. |

| Title: Understanding Cancer: Background, Clinical Trials, Research, and Prevention |
| Edited by: Angela C. Ray |
| ISBN13: 9798895307694 |
| Cancer is not a single disease, but rather a collection of related diseases that can occur almost anywhere in the body. At its core, cancer arises from changes in the genes that regulate how our body's cells function. Genes control how cells work; however, alterations in these genes can lead to cells malfunctioningâ causing them to grow and divide uncontrollably or avoid programmed cell death. These abnormal cells can become cancerous. Understanding how genetic changes contribute to cancer is one way to grasp the disease, while analyzing cancer statistics provides another perspective. Symptoms and treatments vary depending on the type and stage of cancer. Common approaches include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, while some treatment plans may also involve hormone therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, or stem cell transplantation. |

| Title: (Mis)reading of Kurt Vonnegut |
| By (author): Said Mentak |
| ISBN10-13: 1616685956 : 9781616685959 |
| When the fictional is fused with the real, the theoretical with the practical, and the line demarcating these spheres of knowledge is blurred there should be a new understanding of the function of literature in post-modern times. The book provides an essential practice of understanding postmodernism fiction by minutely tackling the work of one of the most widely read among the few grandmasters of American letters, Kurt Vonnegut, whose masterpieces, Cat's Cradle, Slaughterhouse-Five, and Breakfast of Champions, are dealt with in a postmodernist vein. The work raises questions as to the validity of traditional interpretation of a writer who has added the fantastic to the amazing fusion of reality and fiction without losing the Vonnegut touch. |

| Title: (NON) Conventional Approaches Applied to the Study of Brazilian Aquifers |
| By (author): Daniel Marcos Bonotto, Edson Gomes de Oliveira |
| ISBN10-13: 1616687703 : 9781616687700 |
| The Earth's water is always in movement, and the water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Thus, the water cycle describes the processes that drive the movement of water throughout the hydrosphere, whilst a reservoir represents the water contained in different steps within the cycle. In general, there is a relationship between the mineral composition of natural water and that of the solid minerals with which the water has been in contact. This relationship may be comparatively simple and uncomplicated, as in the case of an aquifer receiving direct recharge by rainfall and from which water is discharged without contacting any other aquifer or other water. This book discusses how different techniques can be utilised to investigate the water movement in different aquifer systems occurring in Brazil. |

| Title: (Participatory) Action Research |
| Sub-title: Principles, Approaches and Applications |
| Edited by: Joseph Calder, Jacob Foletta |
| ISBN10-13: 1536130419 : 9781536130416 |
| In this book, authors present current research on the implementation of reform mathematics in order to identify, explore, and evaluate five specific goals. Students were presented with problem solving activities that correlated with real-world situations. During this process, students tracked their confidence and growth as mathematicians. Next, the ways in which students learn to effectively engage in natural discussions related to the literature they are reading are examined. Barriers to the implementation of literature circles in the classroom are discussed, and ideas for successful execution are highlighted. Action research (AR) leaders roles are explored through two studies, with the frame constituting of K-20 science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and how participant engagement leads to AR project insight. The authors provide suggestions for future AR leaders. Afterwards, this compilation goes on to discuss how teaching Participatory Action Research (PAR) in MITs Department of Urban Studies and Planning has led to focus on the responsibilities of action researchers and their obligations to the communities and places in which they work; and the importance of building the capacity of community members so that they can take control of the research being done about, with, and for them. The authors explore the way in which Curriculum Studies have addressed relevance and by proposing a framework for the study of curriculum relevance in general, which was adapted from literature on Science Education. The proposal considers three dimensions of relevance: societal, vocational, and individual. A chapter is included which fully addresses the analysis of one of the cases developed in the authors previous work, in which students have to reconstruct their memories about the experiences they had during compulsory education in order to compare them with the experiences they have during the practicum. The authors share their concerns about the process of accompaniment, the process of student participation in the design and assessment of the subjects, and the search for situated and transformative learning in a university context. The book proposes the use of action research in higher education, especially in programs that use practical approaches such as residency programs in healthcare. The text also discusses similar themes such as andragogy, meaningful learning, active learning, and systemic thinking. Additionally, a teacher-driven approach for changes in teaching chemical bonding was chosen, inspired by the PAR model suggested by Eilks and Ralle. The authors determine that remote networking of a teacher action researcher with a PAR-driven community of practitioners and academic educational researchers helped strengthen the process of research and development and contributed to strengthen the teachers continuous professional development. Subsequently, an application of participatory action research (PAR) conducted in Italy is illustrated. In describing the structure of action research, it can first be asserted that it is not a linear methodology of research but instead a cyclical process that proceeds through greater levels of complexity. In conclusion, the book aims to determine the relationship between the principles, approaches and applications of participatory action research (PAR) by using a case study of wood-carving workers. The authors maintain that although this project was successful in increasing health awareness of the workers and the community, long-term impact and sustainability of networking and activities need to be examined. |
