Book Description

Experts in Medicine are under new pressures of advancing their studies while also reducing the impact they leave on the environment. Researchers within the fields of bio-neuro informatics, healthcare, engineering, and medical sciences require a dynamic platform that bridges the realms of academia, science, industry, and innovation. Green AI-Powered Intelligent Systems for Disease Prognosis facilitates a crossroads for a diverse audience interested in these two seldom coalesced concepts. Academicians, scientists, researchers, professionals, decision-makers, and even aspiring scholars all find a space to contribute, collaborate, and learn within the platform that this book provides. The book's thematic coverage is unequivocally compelling; by exploring the intersections of bio-neuro informatics, healthcare, engineering, and medical sciences, it captures the spirit of interdisciplinary research. It delves into well-established domains while also casting a spotlight on emerging trends that have the potential to reshape our understanding of these fields. Two prominent tracks form the backbone of the book's content. The first covers the Bioinformatics and Data Mining of Biological Data (BiDMBD), and unravels the intricacies of biomedical computation, signal analysis, clinical decision support, and health data mining. This approach holds a treasure trove of insights into the mechanisms of health data acquisition, clinical informatics, and the representation of healthcare knowledge. The second covers Biomedical Informatics and is a symposium of computational modeling, genomics, and proteomics. Here, the fusion of data science with medical sciences takes center stage.

Book Description

This book provides a clear, critical, and timely analysis of the state of corporate sustainability within the context of the climate crisis. It offers not only a substantive critique of the current efforts but also clarity about the changes needed and how to implement them. The book goes beyond the more common debate on shareholder capitalism vs. stakeholder capitalism to explain the shortcomings of the current approach to sustainability in business, which the author describes as sustainability-as-usual. Using strategic design lenses, the author proposes a new model of awakened sustainability, which offers a transformational shift in corporate sustainability to ensure companies fairly and effectively address the climate crisis. The book presents the numerous changes needed in the environment in which companies operate to enable awakened sustainability and how these changes can be realized. Grounded in the scientific community’s calls for urgent action on climate change, this groundbreaking text provides scholars with an evaluation of current and future trends in corporate sustainability. It connects the dots between the progress made in the last five decades and the opportunities entailed in the work on a regenerative and just vision for companies in this decade and beyond.

Book Description

The goal of this book is to define Sustainable Value Creation in terms of a set of principles that differentiate it from existing definitions of CSR, and from related concepts such as sustainability and business ethics. To internalize these ten principles is to understand how the firm can respond to stakeholder needs to optimize value creation over the medium to long term. Ultimately, this second edition book aims to reform both business practice and business education. By building a theory that redefines CSR as central to the value creation process, the ten principles of Sustainable Value Creation redefine how firms approach each of their operational functions, but also how these subjects should be taught in universities worldwide. As such, this book will hopefully be of value to instructors as a complement to their teaching, students as a guide in their education, and managers as a framework to help them respond to the complex, dynamic context that they are expected to navigate every day. This book is a manifesto for success in today’s complex, dynamic business environment. The book is designed as an easy-to-digest, critical introductory text to CSR. With supporting online teaching resources, it is aimed primarily at the MBA and Executive MBA market, and for CSR, sustainability, and business ethics courses taught by instructors skeptical of existing definitions and organizing principles of CSR, sustainability, or business ethics.
