For over a century, creativity has unfolded as a valuable field of
knowledge. Emerging from disciplines like psychology, management
and education, the field of creativity is making strides in others
including the arts and engineering. Research and education in this
field helped it establish an identity as evidenced by a growing
number of courses and specialised journals. However, this progress
has come with a price. In a domain like management,
institutionalisation of creativity in learning, research and
practice has left creativity subordinated to concerns with
standardisation, employability and economic growth. Values like
personal fulfilment, uncertainty, improvement and connectedness
which could characterise systemic views on creativity need to be
rescued to promote more and inclusive dialogue between creativity
stakeholders. The author aims to recover the importance of
creativity as a systemic phenomenon and explores how applied
systems thinking, or AST, can further support creativity. This
demonstrates how creative efforts could be directed to improve
quality of life for individuals as well as their environments. The
book uses the systems idea as an enquiring device to bring together
different actors to promote refl ection and action about creative
possibilities. The chapters offer conceptualisations, applications
and refl ections of systems ideas to help readers make sense of the
field of creativity in academia and elsewhere. Complemented by the
author's own personal, conceptual and practical journey, the
insights of the book will act as a vital toolkit for management
researchers, career-driven students, practitioners and all creators
to define and pursue creative ideas and thrive through their
journeys to benefit themselves, other people and organisations.
The objective of this special issue is to illustrate some of the
theoretical, methodological and practical aspects involved in the
evidence-based evaluation of family educational programs aimed at
supporting positive parenting. The main novelty that this special
issue brings is the compilation of studies involving experiences of
parent education programs from several countries. The objectives of
the papers are to develop theoretically based prevention programs,
to evaluate their effectiveness according to standards of evidence,
and to examine factors that influence implementation process. The
papers also provide recommendations for researchers to establish
stable cooperation with politicians, officials, service providers,
and practitioners.

As a collection of ideas and methodologies, systems thinking has
made an impact in organizations and in particular in the
information systems field. However, this main emphasis on
organizations limits the scope of systems thinking and practice.
There is a need first to use systems thinking in addressing
societal problems, and second to enable people involved in
developing the information society to reflect on the impacts of
systems and technologies in society as a whole. Thus, there are
opportunities to review the scope and potential of systems thinking
and practice to deal with information society-related issues.
Systems Practice in the Information Society provides students of
information systems as well as practicing Inofrmation Systems
managers with concepts and strategies to enable them to understand
and use systems thinking methodologies and address challenges posed
by the development of information-based societies. This book brings
experiences, ideas, and applications of systemic thinking in
designing and evaluating socio-technological initiatives. Using a
number of cultural contexts, this book explores how organizations,
including governments, can enable better access to information and
communication technologies and improve the quality of life of
individuals.

This book proposes a new way to consider creativity in management
education, inviting educators to rediscover themselves in the
process. To date, creativity in management is a valuable skill, but
one which has been institutionalized and subordinated to metrics
such as economic growth, knowledge disciplining and employability.
After a critical analysis using Foucault's governmentality to
identify how creativity is being organized in management education,
this book examines diverse initiatives intended to nurture
creativity. Then, and through a systemic recontextualization of
governmentality and other notions like play, it provides conceptual
and practical guidance derived from the author's own
self-narratives (games) as student and educator. The book concludes
with important reflections, implications and guidelines for the
nurturing in creativity in management education and life in
general. This book will be a valuable reading for creativity and
innovation scholars, academics working in management education and
students in general.
This book describes fault tolerance techniques based on software
and hardware to create hybrid techniques. They are able to reduce
overall performance degradation and increase error detection when
associated with applications implemented in embedded processors.
Coverage begins with an extensive discussion of the current
state-of-the-art in fault tolerance techniques. The authors then
discuss the best trade-off between software-based and
hardware-based techniques and introduce novel hybrid techniques.
Proposed techniques increase existing fault detection rates up to
100%, while maintaining low performance overheads in area and
application execution time."

En el libro se aborda un procedimiento para la introduccion e
implementacion de las competencias en la gestion de los directivos
como una via de mejoramiento del desempeno individual y
organizacional. En la actualidad, en los procedimientos existentes
para estos fines, no son suficientes dadas las particularidades de
las organizaciones y el contexto en que se desarrollan los propios
directivos. La identificacion de competencias; en la organizacion,
en los procesos y en los cargos directivos, y la estructuracion del
sistema, constituye un tema que despierta el interes en el sistema
de direccion y en los circulos academicos y cientificos."
The growing concern for human wellbeing has generated an increase
in the demand for polyphenols, secondary plant metabolites that
exhibit different bioactive properties. This increasing demand is
mainly due to the current applications in the food industry where
polyphenols are considered essential for human health and
nutrition. Advances in Technologies for Producing Food-relevant
Polyphenols provides researchers, scientists, engineers, and
professionals involved in the food industry with the latest
methodologies and equipment useful to extract, isolate, purify, and
analyze polyphenols from different available sources, such as
herbs, flora, vegetables, fruits, and agro-industrial wastes.
Technologies currently used to add polyphenols to diverse food
matrices are also included. This book serves a reference to design
and scale-up processes to obtain polyphenols from different plant
sources and to produce polyphenol-rich foods with bioactive
properties (e.g. antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer
properties) of interest for human health and wellbeing.
