Book Description

Preface Today the world is marked by increasing complexity, where the boundaries between disciplines become increasingly interconnected. Therefore, the dialogue between different areas of knowledge is essential for the understanding and solution of the diverse challenges we face. This book, "Multidisciplinary Studies: Management and Legal Sciences", is born of this understanding, bringing a comprehensive and integrated perspective on important topics that permeate management and law. Management and the legal sciences, although traditionally seen as distinct fields, share a deep interdependence. Business and administrative decisions are inevitably shaped by regulatory and legal frameworks, as well as legal legislation and practices are influenced by organizational and economic dynamics. This book explores this intersection, highlighting how the collaboration between managers and jurists can generate innovative and effective solutions to contemporary problems. Throughout the chapters, readers will have the opportunity to discover a diversity of approaches and methodologies that reflect the nature of the topics covered, will find practical cases analyzes and theoretical studies. Each contribution enriches the understanding of how these areas can interact productively. Thus, in the world where change is a constant, the ability to integrate knowledge and collaborate beyond traditional boundaries becomes a strategic differential. "Multidisciplinary Studies: Management and Legal Sciences" is a valuable contribution to this movement, offering tools and reflections that enable managers and jurists to navigate more effective and creativity in todays and tomorrow challenges. We hope that this work will inspire not only greater understanding between the areas of management and law, but also a more collaborative and innovative professional practice. May it serve as a starting point for new research, debates and, above all, to the practical application of interdisciplinary knowledge that contribute to the common good. Good reading!

Book Description

Much has been written about food allergies in scientific journals and in the lay press, but Food Allergies: Processing Technologies for Allergenicity Reduction approaches the issue of food allergies from an industrial processing rather than a clinical perspective. Indeed, industrial food processing technologies can have many beneficial effects to obtain various food products and to preserve foods from physical, chemical and microbiological alterations. However, processing technologies, including thermal and non‐thermal technologies, can also alter the allergenic properties of food proteins. This book provides an authoritative source of information on the relationship between food processing technologies and food allergens with a greater variety of studied allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, cow’s milk, eggs, sesame, lupine, soy, wheat, mustard, mushroom, fish and shellfish, as well as the importance of processing these when producing hypoallergenic foods. Key Features: Presents food allergies with recent advances and statistics concerning prevalence, physiopathologic mechanism, diagnosis and anaphylaxis Discusses food allergies in the food industry and investigates the effect of processing on allergenicity of foods during manufacturing Provides food processing and promising technologies to produce hypoallergenic food with high quality Covers the allergenic effect of different food additives with an investigation of cross‐reaction risks This unique book is an indispensable guide for allergic patients, production managers, scientists and nutritionists within the food industry as well as covering a range of critical topics in this area for all those concerned with understanding and managing food allergies.

Book Description

This book, in its second edition, presents a comprehensive view of concepts, principles and practices of Total Quality Management (TQM) from basics through advanced tools and techniques for practical implementation. It is well known that 'Total Organization Involvement' in understanding and implementing TQM, along with the integrated business strategy, provided Japanese organizations with a strong platform for a meteoric rise to world-class performance and global leadership in every sphere of their operation. The success of TQM, therefore, depends a lot on the strong foundation and infrastructure of an organization. This is the crux of the author's theory of 'Holistic Management System for World-class Performance and Leadership' expounded in this book. It is a TQM-based model that helps create a world-class management system for performance excellence and global leadership. The second edition of the book introduces three new chapters on 'Quality 4.0', 'Service Quality' and 'Contemporary and Emerging Concepts of TQM' to keep the readers abreast of the latest advancements in the field. The last chapter covers Quality 5.0, Society 5.0, AI & ML, Deep Learning, Robotics, Cobots and Chatbots. These technologies are integrated to synchronize TQM with latest trends in industry and society to give hands-on experience to the students and professionals. Besides, the chapter on 'Six Sigma' has been revised and updated. The concluding part of the book cites several examples of practical implementation of TQM principles and practices in various manufacturing and service sectors of the Indian industry, providing elaboration and analysis of each case study. The book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of management as well as students of most engineering disciplines. It can also be used by the industries as a valuable guide to continuous improvement and implementation of a world-class management system in line with the TQM principles and practices. In a nutshell, the book provides wide coverage of areas related to TQM and integrates all its processes, tools and techniques under one management system to help businesses grow and excel. This is indeed the unique feature of the book. The first edition of the book is already among the top 20 all-time best book on 'Total Quality Management' and has 88 citations globally.
