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.
