mentors, community leaders, and more. Annals of Entrepreneurship
Education and Pedagogy - 2023 is a must-have book for any
entrepreneurship professor, scholar, or program director dedicated
to advancing entrepreneurship education in the US and around the
world.
In recent years entrepreneurship has become one of the most popular
fields of research in management studies. As the subject has
broadened, increasing attention has been paid to the behavioural
aspects of different practices to identify and pursue
entrepreneurial opportunities. This timely book analyses three key
strands of contemporary research into entrepreneurial behaviour:
intention, education and orientation. It offers novel insights that
can be applied to foster entrepreneurial activities in different
settings. The chapters in the book are divided into three parts.
The contributors first focus on the entrepreneur as an individual
and offer three innovative yet complementary approaches to
entrepreneurial intentions. They go on to consider how
entrepreneurial behaviour can be trained and learned, providing a
much-needed theoretical anchor to pedagogical approaches in
entrepreneurship. Finally, they cover entrepreneurial behaviour at
the organizational level. They expertly tackle the popular topic of
entrepreneurial orientation through novel empirical studies with
diverse methodologies and multiple levels of analysis. Researchers
and advanced students in management and entrepreneurship will
benefit from the state-of-the-art analysis and innovative
approaches presented. Entrepreneurship educators and policymakers
will also find this book to be stimulating reading, where they can
find suggestions for an evidence-based practice. Contributors

'These authors take an in-depth look at poverty in developed
countries and offer the unique solution of entrepreneurship's
empowering and transformative venture creation impact to the
problem. They introduce a framework as a holistic approach for
understanding what is required for the low-income individual to
successfully pursue the entrepreneurial path. For anyone concerned
about the alleviation of poverty, this is a must read!' - Donald F.
Kuratko, Indiana University, Bloomington, US 'Poor people are more
frequently business owners than any other economic group, but,
because of resource constraints, they rarely break out of the
informal economy so their entrepreneurship co-exists with poverty
rather than replacing it. Could we reduce the resource constraints
and simultaneously educate poor people about business management
and strategy, more poor people could break into the formal sector,
creating jobs and building wealth exactly where jobs and wealth are
most needed. The social benefit would be huge. In their pragmatic,
informed, and readable manual, Morris, Santos, and Neumeyer bring
together the inter-disciplinary information that a public/private
partnership requires to launch a successful effort to reduce
poverty by enabling the entrepreneurship of the poor. In a
nutshell, the public sector provides the infrastructure; the
private sector and NGOs provide the business education. Everyone
who has a practical or theoretical interest in poverty,
entrepreneurship, or social policy should read this book.' - Ivan
Light, University of California, Los Angeles, US While extensively
explored as a solution to poverty at the base of the pyramid, this
is the first in-depth examination of entrepreneurship and the poor
within advanced economies. Entrepreneurship is presented as a
source of empowerment that represents an alternative pathway out of
poverty. The book explores the underlying nature of poverty and
draws implications for new venture creation. This book fosters a
richer dialog among academics, government officials, policy makers,
economic development professionals, bankers and the financial
community, leaders of non-profit organizations, and others
committed to moving beyond status quo solutions - committed to
finding ways to help people create their own entrepreneurial
pathways out of poverty.
This book presents the proceedings of the IVth Azores International
Advanced School in Space Sciences entitled "Asteroseismology and
Exoplanets: Listening to the Stars and Searching for New Worlds".
The school addressed the topics at the forefront of scientific
research being conducted in the fields of asteroseismology and
exoplanetary science, two fields of modern astrophysics that share
many synergies and resources. These proceedings comprise the
contributions from 18 invited lecturers, including both monographic
presentations and a number of hands-on tutorials.
As an area, Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) aims to design,
develop and test socio-technical innovations that will support and
enhance learning practices of individuals and organizations.
Information retrieval is a pivotal activity in TEL and the
deployment of recommender systems has attracted increased interest
during the past years. Recommendation methods, techniques and
systems open an interesting new approach to facilitate and support
learning and teaching. The goal is to develop, deploy and evaluate
systems that provide learners and teachers with meaningful guidance
in order to help identify suitable learning resources from a
potentially overwhelming variety of choices. Contributions address
the following topics: i) user and item data that can be used to
support learning recommendation systems and scenarios, ii)
innovative methods and techniques for recommendation purposes in
educational settings and iii) examples of educational platforms and
tools where recommendations are incorporated.
Since the use of high-precision/resolution spectroscopy is closely
connected to the ability to collect a large number of photons, the
scientific domains using this technique benefit tremendously from
the use of 8-meter class telescopes and will fully exploit the
tremendous gain provided by future Extremely Large Telescopes
(ELTs). This volume comprehensively covers the astrophysical and
technical aspects of high-precision spectroscopy with an outlook to
future developments.

This book aims to provide examples of applications of atomic force
microscopy (AFM) using biological samples, showing different
methods for AFM sample preparation, data acquisition and
processing, and avoiding technical problems. Divided into two
sections, chapters guide readers through image artifacts, process
and quantitatively analyze AFM images, lipid bilayers, image
DNA-protein complexes, AFM cell topography, single-molecule force
spectroscopy, single-molecule dynamic force spectroscopy,
fluorescence methodologies, molecular recognition force
spectroscopy, biomechanical characterization, AFM-based biosensor
setup, and detail how to implement such an in vitro system, which
can monitor cardiac electrophysiology, intracellular calcium
dynamics, and single cell mechanics. Written in the highly
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters
include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the
necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily
reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Atomic
Force Microscopy: Methods and Protocols is useful for researchers
at different stages, from newcomers to experienced users,
interested in new AFM applications.
Recommender systems have shown to be successful in many domains
where information overload exists. This success has motivated
research on how to deploy recommender systems in educational
scenarios to facilitate access to a wide spectrum of information.
Tackling open issues in their deployment is gaining importance as
lifelong learning becomes a necessity of the current
knowledge-based society. Although Educational Recommender Systems
(ERS) share the same key objectives as recommenders for e-commerce
applications, there are some particularities that should be
considered before directly applying existing solutions from those
applications. Educational Recommender Systems and Technologies:
Practices and Challenges aims to provide a comprehensive review of
state-of-the-art practices for ERS, as well as the challenges to
achieve their actual deployment. Discussing such topics as the
state-of-the-art of ERS, methodologies to develop ERS, and
architectures to support the recommendation process, this book
covers researchers interested in recommendation strategies for
educational scenarios and in evaluating the impact of
recommendations in learning, as well as academics and practitioners
in the area of technology enhanced learning.
