Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. With contributions
from an international range of active researchers, this Research
Agenda provides a timely literature review on core topics related
to consumer financial behavior. Chapters cover financial management
behavior, desirable financial behavior and any financial behavior
that helps improve financial wellbeing. The Research Agenda is
split into two parts, first covering determinants of financial
behavior and then outcomes. Top scholars in the field explore a
broad range of determinants, including financial literacy,
education, socialization, access, technology, retirement policies,
trading and investment, and neuroscience. The book moves on to
explore financial capability, wellbeing, fragility and
vulnerability, offering a comprehensive examination of the topic.
Economics and financial behavior researchers and students will
benefit from the thorough and incisive literature reviews in this
Research Agenda. It will also be a valuable resource for business
practitioners looking for an up-to-date insight on research in the
field.

This new two-volume addresses a number of state-of-the-art
developments and unsolved open issues in the field of computational
intelligence. Volume 1 focuses on data science and artificial
intelligence. It highlights the use of predictive analytics of data
from various application domains to find timely solutions to
various problems. The book focuses on the research developments,
limitations, and management of real-time problems using
computational intelligence by identifying applicable approaches in
order to enhance, automate, and develop effective solutions. The
volume introduces empirical research, prospects of theoretical
research, and applications in data science and artificial
intelligence. The chapters present diverse application of computer
intelligence and machine learning in security, healthcare and
medicine, agriculture, traffic science/smart cities, and language
and text conversion. Volume 2 demonstrates empirical, theoretical,
and application perspectives on smart technologies, computational
intelligence in network technologies, and computational
intelligence in software engineering, identifying the advantages
and limitations of each. The chapters on smart technologies address
their application in such areas as communication services,
healthcare and assistive technology, urban waste management,
vehicle pollution and accident detection, and more. The
technologies encompass the use of machine learning, blockchain, fog
computing, satellite communication technology, ant colony
optimization algorithms, etc. Together, these two volumes offer new
research on presented by young and dynamic researchers and experts
from industry and academia, sharing a plethora of new and emerging
technologies that support their effective operations in
computational intelligence in information systems. These
peer-review chapters were selected from the International
Conference on Computational Intelligence in Analytics and
Information Systems’ (CIAIS- 2021), held in April 2021 at Manav
Rachna University, India.
The anaerobic process is considered to be a sustainable technology
for organic waste treatment mainly due to its lower energy
consumption and production of residual solids coupled with the
prospect of energy recovery from the biogas generated. However, the
anaerobic process cannot be seen as providing the 'complete'
solution as its treated effluents would typically not meet the
desired discharge limits in terms of residual carbon, nutrients and
pathogens. This has given impetus to subsequent post treatment in
order to meet the environmental legislations and protect the
receiving water bodies and environment. This book discusses
anaerobic treatment from the perspective of organic wastes and
wastewaters (municipal and industrial) followed by various
post-treatment options for anaerobic effluent polishing and
resource recovery. Coverage will also be from the perspective of
future trends and thoughts on anaerobic technologies being able to
support meeting the increasingly stringent disposal standards. The
resource recovery angle is particularly interesting as this can
arguably help achieve the circular economy. It is intended the
information can be used to identify appropriate solutions for
anaerobic effluent treatment and possible alternative approaches to
the commonly applied post-treatment techniques. The succeeding
discussion is intended to lead on to identification of
opportunities for further research and development. This book can
be used as a standard reference book and textbook in universities
for Master and Doctoral students. The academic community relevant
to the subject, namely faculty, researchers, scientists, and
practicing engineers, will find the book both informative and as a
useful source of successful case studies.
This book set provides an overview of the methodologies of
bio-processing, sustainable production of agri-food waste, the
assessment and management of bioactive molecule production from
microbial-valorization of agri-food waste, and their industrial
applications. This set also provides an overview of the tools and
processes that make or modify products and improve plants for
specific uses, and discusses the utilization of livestock in
agricultural systems by the use of microbial approach. The authors
examine technical concepts and processes for the enhanced
bioproduction of various bio-products for commercial interest. They
also discuss the main process conditions needed to overcome the
difficulties of using waste as alternative raw materials and cover
the main processes for obtaining the relevant enzymes for
commercial purpose. They then review the technical-economic details
on the advantages and disadvantages of exploring the waste recovery
chain. Fianlly, they explore the main technological advances in the
recovery of residues in functional products and encompass solid
research to explore the broad potential of future microbial
applications. This book is intended for biotechnologists,
biologists, bioengineers, biochemists, microbiologists, food
technologists, enzymologists, and related researchers.

This unique book comprehensively explores and illustrates the
different ways in which the medical discipline of psychiatry
interfaces and interacts with not only other medical disciplines,
but also other aspects of life and knowledge. Divided into 26
chapters, the text begins with an overview of psychiatry
interfaces. The next nine sections cover interfaces with other
medical disciplines including neurology, obstetrics and
gynaecology, gastroenterology, dermatology, and cardiology. The
following sections cover different societal aspects and their
interfaces with psychiatry, including politics, religion, law,
history, philosophy, ethics and culture, and more. The final
chapters discuss education, the arts, and social media.

How can non-windy places make use of wind power for electricity
generation? Advanced Wind Turbines provides detailed information
that is of great practical importance to wind turbine practitioners
from small and congested city-states, where the lack of vast land
and high wind speed render the conventional wind turbine less
effective. It introduces the non-conventional Darrieus and Savonius
wind turbines, as well as their hybrid version, covering basic
concepts, computational modelling and recent advances in
experimental optimization.What about those who prefer wind turbines
in faraway oceans to take advantage of high wind speed, or who come
from countries with a lack of shallow seabed? Floating offshore
wind turbines are also discussed, and the dynamics of floating
vis-Ã -vis grounded wind turbines are thoroughly expounded
upon to aid practitioners in achieving more accurate performance
modelling. This is a work of paramount usefulness for areas which
have long wanted to jump on the renewable energy bandwagon, but
have thus far been hampered by their natural geographical
limitations.
