This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning, EC-TEL 2023, held in Aveiro, Portugal, in September 2023. The 34 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 126 submissions. Additionally, 24 posters and 16 demonstration papers were included in the proceedings. The papers focus on sustainable teaching and learning practices in the post-pandemic educational ecosystem.

The existence of complex problems throughout healthcare, business, technology, and education requires solutions using effective organizational research and consulting methods. The intersection of academic rigor and practical business application may offer valuable insights and strategies into positive organizational change. As global thought leaders and researchers from diverse fields come together to present innovative solutions, organizational research practices foster innovation in today's dynamic environment. Pioneering Paradigms in Organizational Research and Consulting Interventions: A Multidisciplinary Approach presents case studies, theoretical frameworks, and evidence-based practices to address pressing challenges facing organizational sectors. It explores contemporary organizational issues throughout supply chains, remote work, business education, corporate strategies, and more, while positing effective solutions for change. This book covers topics such as management science, healthcare ethics, and data management, and is a useful resource for academicians, researchers, business owners, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals.

With the constant evolution of technology, libraries must grapple with the urgent need to adapt or face obsolescence. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into library operations presents many new opportunities as well as a complex array of challenges. The traditional roles of libraries, as pillars of knowledge and information, are being reshaped by AI, compelling institutions to reassess their relevance in an ever-evolving digital landscape. The urgency of this intersection between libraries and AI is emphasized by the necessity to revolutionize outdated systems, and it is in this dynamic context that Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Libraries emerges as an essential guide. The book addresses the ethical implications of AI-enabled libraries, offering strategies for navigating privacy concerns and potential challenges in the implementation of AI. It serves as a strategic guide for evaluating the impact and effectiveness of AI initiatives, developing policies and practices centered around AI, and training librarians for the inevitable integration of AI into their roles. By fostering collaboration between librarians, researchers, and AI experts, this book aims to empower professionals to navigate the transformative journey that AI is ushering in for libraries, fostering innovation, collaboration, and the creation of more effective and user-centric library services.

"What, exactly, is 'National Cyber Security'? The rise of cyberspace as a field of human endeavour is probably nothing less than one of the most significant developments in world history. Cyberspace already directly impacts every facet of human existence including economic, social, cultural and political developments, and the rate of change is not likely to stop anytime soon. However, the socio-political answers to the questions posed by the rise of cyberspace often significantly lag behind the rate of technological change. One of the fields most challenged by this development is that of 'national security'. The National Cyber Security Framework Manual provides detailed background information and in-depth theoretical frameworks to help the reader understand the various facets of National Cyber Security, according to different levels of public policy formulation. The four levels of government--political, strategic, operational and tactical/technical--each have their own perspectives on National Cyber Security, and each is addressed in individual sections within the Manual. Additionally, the Manual gives examples of relevant institutions in National Cyber Security, from top-level policy coordination bodies down to cyber crisis management structures and similar institutions."--Page 4 of cover.

"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

Research on cybercrime has been largely bifurcated, with social science and computer science researchers working with different research agendas. These fields have produced parallel scholarship to understand cybercrime offending and victimization, as well as techniques to harden systems from compromise and understand the tools used by cybercriminals. The literature developed from these two fields is diverse and informative, but until now there has been minimal interdisciplinary scholarship combining their insights in order to create a more informed and robust body of knowledge. This book offers an interdisciplinary approach to research on cybercrime and lays out frameworks for collaboration between the fields. Bringing together international experts, this book explores a range of issues from malicious software and hacking to victimization and fraud. This work also provides direction for policy changes to both cybersecurity and criminal justice practice based on the enhanced understanding of cybercrime that can be derived from integrated research from both the technical and social sciences. The authors demonstrate the breadth of contemporary scholarship as well as identifying key questions that could be addressed in the future or unique methods that could benefit the wider research community. This edited collection will be key reading for academics, researchers, and practitioners in both computer security and law enforcement. This book is also a comprehensive resource for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students undertaking courses in social and technical studies.
