Resistance to Anti-CD20 Antibodies and Approaches for Their
Reversal presents in-depth content written by international experts
in the study of resistance to anti-CD20 antibodies and approaches
for their reversal. Anti-CD20 antibodies are used to achieve B cell
depletion and are developed to treat B cell proliferative
disorders, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and chronic
lymphocytic leukemia. In the past two decades, anti-CD20 antibodies
have revolutionized the treatment of all B cell malignancies,
however, there are patients that fail to respond to initial therapy
or relapse sooner. This book explores new and existing avenues
surrounding Anti-CD20 antibodies. In recent years, several
next-generation anti-CD20 therapies have been developed but
predicting and reversing resistance is still a challenging task.
These areas are being actively studied as they represent a
potential to improve anti-CD20 therapies and are discussed
thoroughly in the book. It is a valuable resource for researchers,
students and member of the biomedical and medical fields who want
to learn more about resistance to anti-CD20 antibodies and their
reversal.

Nowadays it is impossible to imagine a business without technology
as most industries are becoming ""smarter"" and more tech-driven,
ranging from small individual tech initiatives to complete business
models with intertwined supply chains and ""platform""-based
business models. New ways of working, such as agile and DevOps,
have been introduced, leading to new risks. These risks come in the
form of new challenges for teams working together in a distributed
manner, privacy concerns, human autonomy, and cybersecurity
concerns. Technology is now integrated into the business discipline
and is here to stay leading to the need for a thorough
understanding of how to address these risks and all the potential
problems that could arise. With the advent of organized crime, such
as hacks and denial-of-service attacks, all kinds of malicious
actors are infiltrating the digital society in new and unique ways.
Systems with poor design, implementation, and configurations are
easily taken advantage of. When it comes to integrating business
and technology, there needs to be approaches for assuring security
against risks that can threaten both businesses and their digital
platforms. Strategic Approaches to Digital Platform Security
Assurance offers comprehensive design science research approaches
to extensively examine risks in digital platforms and offer
pragmatic solutions to these concerns and challenges. This book
addresses significant problems when transforming an organization
embracing API-based platform models, the use of DevOps teams, and
issues in technological architectures. Each section will examine
the status quo for business technologies, the current challenges,
and core success factors and approaches that have been used. This
book is ideal for security analysts, software engineers, computer
engineers, executives, managers, IT consultants, business
professionals, researchers, academicians, and students who want to
gain insight and deeper knowledge of security in digital platforms
and gain insight into the most important success factors and
approaches utilized by businesses.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused educational institutions to close for
the safety of students and staff and to aid in prevention measures
around the world to slow the spread of the outbreak. Closures of
schools and the interruption of education affected billions of
enrolled students of all ages, leading to nearly the entire student
population to be impacted by these measures. Consequently, this
changed the educational landscape. Emergency remote education (ERE)
was put into practice to ensure the continuity of education and
caused the need to reinterpret pedagogical approaches. The crisis
revealed flaws within our education systems and exemplified how
unprepared schools were for the educational crisis both in K-12 and
higher education contexts. These shortcomings require further
research on education and emerging pedagogies for the future. The
Handbook of Research on Emerging Pedagogies for the Future of
Education: Trauma-Informed, Care, and Pandemic Pedagogy evaluates
the interruption of education, reports best-practices, identifies
the strengths and weaknesses of educational systems, and provides a
base for emerging pedagogies. The book provides an overview of
education in the new normal by distilling lessons learned and
extracting the knowledge and experience gained through the COVID-19
global crisis to better envision the emerging pedagogies for the
future of education. The chapters cover various subjects that
include mathematics, English, science, and medical education, and
span all schooling levels from preschool to higher education. The
target audience of this book will be composed of professionals,
researchers, instructional designers, decision-makers,
institutions, and most importantly, main-actors from the
educational landscape interested in interpreting the emerging
pedagogies and future of education due to the pandemic.
Containing selected papers on the fundamentals and applications of
Complexity Science, this multi-disciplinary book presents new
approaches for resolving complex issues that cannot be resolved
using conventional mathematical or software models. Complex Systems
problems can occur in a variety of areas such as physical sciences
and engineering, the economy, the environment, humanities and
social and political sciences. Complexity Science problems, the
science of open systems consisting of large numbers of diverse
components engaged in rich interaction, can occur in a variety of
areas such as physical sciences and engineering, the economy, the
environment, humanities and social and political sciences. The
global behaviour of these systems emerges from the interaction of
constituent components and is unpredictable but not random. The key
attribute of Complex Systems is the ability to self-organise and
adapt to unpredictable changes in their environment. Renown
complexity thinkers and practitioners as well as those who are new
to the area of complexity will find interest in this book.
Most technologies have been harnessed to enable educators to
conduct their business remotely. However, the social context of
technology as a mediating factor needs to be examined to address
the perceptions of barriers to learning due to the lack of social
interaction between a teacher and a learner in such a setting.
Developing Technology Mediation in Learning Environments is an
essential reference source that widens the scene of STEM education
with an all-encompassing approach to technology-mediated learning,
establishing a context for technology as a mediating factor in
education. Featuring research on topics such as distance education,
digital storytelling, and mobile learning, this book is ideally
designed for teachers, IT consultants, educational software
developers, researchers, administrators, and professionals seeking
coverage on developing digital skills and professional knowledge
using technology.

and ultimately protecting, our personal information.
Infrastructure Computer Vision delves into this field of computer
science that works on enabling computers to see, identify, process
images and provide appropriate output in the same way that human
vision does. However, implementing these advanced information and
sensing technologies is difficult for many engineers. This book
provides civil engineers with the technical detail of this advanced
technology and how to apply it to their individual projects.
Innovations in Artificial Intelligence and Human Computer
Interaction in the Digital Era investigates the interaction and
growing interdependency of the HCI and AI fields, which are not
usually addressed in traditional approaches. Chapters explore how
well AI can interact with users based on linguistics and
user-centered design processes, especially with the advances of AI
and the hype around many applications. Other sections investigate
how HCI and AI can mutually benefit from a closer association and
the how the AI community can improve their usage of HCI methods
like “Wizard of Oz” prototyping and “Thinking aloud” protocols.
Moreover, HCI can further augment human capabilities using new
technologies. This book demonstrates how an interdisciplinary team
of HCI and AI researchers can develop extraordinary applications,
such as improved education systems, smart homes, smart healthcare
and map Human Computer Interaction (HCI) for a multidisciplinary
field that focuses on the design of computer technology and the
interaction between users and computers in different domains.
As the progression of the internet continues, society is finding
easier, quicker ways of simplifying their needs with the use of
