Innovative Models for Sustainable Development in Emerging African Countries
Explores key issues and presents recent case studies in areas of importance for the transition to a circular model of development in emerging African countries that will minimize resource consumption and waste production.
Fundamentals of manufacturing engineering using digital visualization
Offers a guide to core principles and practices of manufacturing engineering. It covers the design of, together with technological and measurement issues for, technical systems. Locating charts and setup schemes describing different machining processes are included. Concepts of product quality, with a focus on accuracy indicators, machining accuracy, roughness, and the impact of surface quality on exploitation properties are also explained. Furthermore, key machining methods, including turning, milling, hole machining, grinding, and gear machining, are analyzed in depth, covering their principles, applications, and techniques. The book is enriched by QR codes, linking to a mobile application presenting additional information about the content, for an interactive and extended learning experience. It also uses illustrations visualized with digital tools to promote a better understanding of the concepts.
European E-Democracy in Practice

CyberParks – The Interface Between People, Places and Technology: New Approaches and Perspectives
This book is about public open spaces, about people, and about the relationship between them and the role of technology in this relationship. It is about different approaches, methods, empirical studies, and concerns about a phenomenon that is increasingly being in the centre of sciences and strategies – the penetration of digital technologies in the urban space. As the main outcome of the CyberParks Project, this book aims at fostering the understanding about the current and future interactions of the nexus people, public spaces and technology. It addresses a wide range of challenges and multidisciplinary perspectives on emerging phenomena related to the penetration of technology in people’s lifestyles - affecting therefore the whole society, and with this, the production and use of public spaces. Cyberparks coined the term cyberpark to describe the mediated public space, that emerging type of urban spaces where nature and cybertechnologies blend together to generate hybrid experiences and enhance quality of life.
AI in learning : Designing the future
AI (artificial intelligence) is predicted to radically change teaching and learning in both schools and industry causing radical disruption of work. AI can support well-being initiatives and lifelong learning but educational institutions and companies need to take the changing technology into account. Moving towards AI supported by digital tools requires a dramatic shift in the concept of learning, expertise and the businesses built off of it. Based on the latest research on AI and how it is changing learning and education, this book will focus on the enormous opportunities to expand educational settings with AI for learning in and beyond the traditional classroom. This book also introduces ethical challenges related to learning and education, while connecting human learning and machine learning.
