Employment Deconcentration in European Metropolitan Areas : Market Forces versus Planning Regulations
Spatial deconcentration of economic activities, particularly the growth of suburban office, retail and entertainment concentrations, has become a prime concern in European metropolitan areas. This book provides a cross-national comparative perspective on employment deconcentration within selected metropolitan areas in Europe. Whereas most debate over urban sprawl and deconcentration is oriented towards the North American context, this book aims at a better understanding of this phenomenon in the European context, emphasizing the location of economic activities rather than residential patterns. It provides insights on whether different governance attributes produce particular forms of deconcentration versus the influence of market attributes and local specificities, also commenting on quality of life impacts and possible governance and policy implications of the deconcentration process. Introduction of a comparative framework is followed by eight case study chapters, three representing northern Europe, three the southern European-Mediterranean region and two post-communist central Europe. Most chapters examine two metropolitan areas, usually a large one and a smaller one. The comparison reveals considerable variations in the magnitude, form, and process of employment deconcentration, only partly in line with expected influences of governance systems. Evidence does not fully confirm an anticipated distinction between Northern and Mediterranean Europe; the Czech Republic and Israel seem to diverge most from prevailing European trends.
Employability revisited : Strengths- and life-phase-oriented human resource management
One of the most pressing issues in current and future human resource management is the inclusion of strengths and life stages within human resource structures. This book examines in a multi-perspective, innovative and participatory way the conditioning factors for persistent stereotyping processes in the context of age and work. Levers for change as well as the circular model for optimizing or implementing life-phase oriented human resource management are presented. It also offers practical assistance for corporate leaders and human resources managers for the implementation of a strength-oriented human resources management.
Emerging Drugs in Sport
Offers a timely analysis of the new challenges posed by this phenomenon in the anti-doping community. The authors present the first comprehensive perspective on the rapidly shifting doping scenario and reflect on use, regulation, policy, and market structure of NPS used in sports. They highlight the challenges with the list of prohibited substances and methods in and out of competition. They also evaluate how methods to detect new drugs present an ongoing battle for doping control as they have to be adapted constantly. Topics covered within the chapters include: Contamination of Sports Supplements with Novel Psychoactive Substances Untested Supplement Use Among Athletes: An Overlooked Phenomenon? International Drug Control: Protecting the Health of the Athlete Analysis of New Chemical Entities in a Sport Context Emerging Drugs in Sport establishes a clear benchmark on the policy discussion, drawing from available evidence and sources, including athletes' personal experiences, to generate a fact-based resource that informs a research as well as wider audience.

Emergencies in Urology
Emergencies in Urology is a comprehensive textbook covering one of the few remaining white spots on the map of urological literature. To date only a small number of publications have been dedicated to the topic of urgent and emergent problems in urology – important as these are in our daily clinical life.Therefore the editors, both of them internationally recognized urological experts, have taken the effort to present an in-depth study into virtually every possible urgent urological situation with which a urologist may be confronted today. Consequently, the book includes chapters on topics such as urological trauma, urosepsis, urinary obstruction, oncological emergencies, intra- and postoperative complications, acute problems in children, and many more.They did so not only by writing the regular book chapters but also by delivering short stories about urgent situations they encountered in their own professional life. These vignettes are one of the rare opportunities where experience can be relayed without restriction from one urological generation to the next.

Elevating video content creation with ai assistance = ارتقاء إنشاء محتوى الفيديو بمساعدة الذكاء الاصطناعي
We developed an AI Assistant equipped with features such as description crafting, title generation, keyword extraction, image captioning, clickbait detection, and sentiment analysis.To achieve these functionalities, we proposed a model for generating video descriptions using ResNet50 as a feature extractor and a LSTM network with an attention mechanism as a sequence generator, achieving a BLEU-1 score of 0.907 and a ROUGE-L score of 0.645. For keyword extraction, we utilized Sentence Transformer to identify strategically relevant keywords from the generated descriptions. For title generation, we fine-tuned the BART model, achieving a ROUGE-L score of 0.45. For clickbait detection, we used SVC classifier with linear kernel and TF-IDF vectorization for feature extraction, resulting in 96% accuracy. Our sentiment analysis model using a CNN-LSTM architecture achieved 80% accuracy in analyzing comments on videos. For image captioning, we employed a feature extractor with a CNN layer followed by an LSTM model, achieving a BLEU-1 score of 0.53. Our platform empowers creators by simplifying complex tasks and offering deeper audience engagement insights, making it a powerful tool in the evolving digital content creation.
