Book Description
The lives of people with disabilities are complex and various, and there are many situations where technology – particularly assistive technology – already makes a real difference. It is clear that smart phone and tablet computer based solutions continue to enhance the independence of many users, but it is also important that more traditional assistive technologies and services are not forgotten or neglected. This book presents the proceedings of the 14th conference of the Association for the Advancement of Assistive Technology in Europe (AAATE 2017) entitled: ‘Harnessing the power of technology to improve lives’, held in Sheffield, UK, in September 2017. This 4-day event about assistive technologies (AT) highlights the association’s interest in innovating not only technology, but also services, and addresses the global challenge of meeting the needs of the increasing number of people who could benefit from assistive technology. The 200+ papers in the book are grouped under 30 subject headings, and include contributions on a wide range of topical subjects, including aging well and dementia; care robotics; eHealth and apps; innovations; universal design; sport; and disordered speech. The breadth of the AAATE conference reflects people’s life needs and so the book is sure to contain something of interest to all those whose work involves the design, development and use of assistive technology, whatever the situation. The photo on the front cover illustrates the breadth of assistive technologies that can improve lives. Photographer: Simon Butler.

Book Description
A pressing challenge in the modern health care system is the gap between education and clinical practice. Emerging technologies have the potential to bridge this gap by creating the kind of team-based learning environments and clinical approaches that are increasingly necessary in the modern health care system both in the United States and around the world. To explore these technologies and their potential for improving education and practice, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a workshop in November 2017. Participants explored effective use of technologies as tools for bridging identified gaps within and between health professions education and practice in order to optimize learning, performance and access in high-, middle-, and low-income areas while ensuring the well-being of the formal and informal health workforce. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Book Description
We live at a crucial period in time. The rate of technological innovation has outpaced our ability to see into the future with a reliable degree of accuracy. Yes, we are still able to cope with the vagaries of the world, yet no one can precisely say where we will be even 5 or 10 years from now. The 21st-century and its people are marked by great change, staggering accomplishment, and unprecedented uncertainty. For all this, we've managed to change the course of humanity in ways our ancestors never dreamed. We have prolonged human life well beyond what was typical. We've engineered machinery and digital technology that reduced the need for human involvement, putting more time and energy at our disposal to pursue happiness outside the workroom. We've deconstructed the command-and-control corporate hierarchy that created the concept of "work-life balance," an antidote to the pernicious absorption customary of the workplace. Perhaps in equal measure we've opened gaping divides of global proportions. This is the natural fluctuation of human affairs. There has not been, and maybe will never be, a perfect society. We are flawed in all too human ways. And yet, it is those very flaws, when looked at dispassionately and honestly that can reveal the doorways to a better world for us all. In this book, digital and management guru Anurag Harsh has aggregated many years of writing on the subject of digitalization at the corporate, individual and global levels. The topic of digitalization itself is an incomplete one. As such, to speak on the effects of digitalization will inevitably leave questions unanswered, points unaddressed, and perspectives unrecognized. Nonetheless, the author has done his best to cover these topics from as many perspectives as possible as they relate to the subjects of business, economics, and psychology. The book's goal is to present the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the myriad ways digital technology and the mentality its engendered has changed the course of human history, has changed the way people view each other, and has affected business practices. Beyond describing these effects, the book provides practical measures for people and business owners alike to create a culture of innovation that acknowledges individual differences and seeks to harness them; while contextualizing that culture in a broader discourse about government's role in the digital divides we see opening between peoples today. The book presents the chapters in a way that scaffolds, so that by the end of each section the reader will have an understanding of the central topics orbiting discussions on the economic, social, and psychological effects of digitalization at the corporate, individual and global levels. However, the author urges the reader to treat this book as a unique journey. When you look over the Table of Contents, decide where you want to start based on your interests. After all, customizability is the hallmark of digitalization. When a person or company has truly crafted a digital journey, it matters not where on the path you enter: You will always see, repeated endlessly, every element in the journey. That is the guiding spirit of the next frontier in digital thinking.

Book Description
Harnessing the Power of Viruses explores the application of scientific knowledge about viruses and their lives to solve practical challenges and further advance molecular sciences, medicine and agriculture. The book contains virus-based tools and approaches in the fields of: i) DNA manipulations in vitro and in vivo; ii) Protein expression and characterization; and iii) Virus- Host interactions as a platform for therapy and biocontrol are discussed. It steers away from traditional views of viruses and technology, focusing instead on viral molecules and molecular processes that enable science to better understand life and offer means for addressing complex biological phenomena that positively influence everyday life. The book is written at an intermediate level and is accessible to novices who are willing to acquire a basic level of understanding of key principles in molecular biology, but is also ideal for advanced readers interested in expanding their biological knowledge to include practical applications of molecular tools derived from viruses. - Explores virus-based tools and approaches in DNA manipulation, protein expression and characterization and virus-host interactions - Provides a dedicated focus on viral molecules and molecular processes that enable science to better understand life and address complex biological phenomena - Includes an overview of modern technologies in biology that were developed using viral components/elements and knowledge about viral processes
