Do you know that 60% of children around the world have experienced at least one cyber-risk such as cyber-bullying, technology addiction, misinformation, online sexual exploitation, and others? The COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating the digitalization of global society. Cyber-risks among children, digital skill gaps and societal instability due to fake news and cyber-threats, are rapidly increasing and widening inequality. Amidst these challenges, how can we move forward to realize a better future? This book is about Park's social impact journey to develop DQ (Digital Intelligence) as the global standard for digital literacy, digital skills, and digital readiness with the belief that 'technology is only meaningful when it enhances humanness. It shares over a decade of her experiences and insights on the empowerment of individuals across more than 80 countries with digital citizenship, which constitutes the core life skills that are needed in the digital age to minimize cyber-risks and maximize human potential. The story invites all people to envision how DQ can help to reshape technology, education, and well-being in the digital age.

Why does one child straighten up with only a stern glance from Mom, while another may require her parents to take away privileges or give her a time out? According to Dr. Greg Cynaumon, it's because each child has a personal Discipline Quotient--a disciplinary "temperament" that makes some methods work better than others. Including individual self-tests to help parents identify the D.Q. of each of their children, this book promises not only to stop rebellion before it starts, but to bring families closer together.

This book develops and amplifies the emerging concept of diversity intelligence, which is the capability of leaders to recognize the value of workplace diversity and to use this information to guide thinking and behavior. Organization leaders need diversity intelligence to better interact with the changing demographics in the US and the global economy, by embracing differences as strengths rather than weaknesses. Without a clear understanding of diversity, leaders are not fully equipped to realize organizational goals through all employees. The author highlights the importance of reimagining diversity and changing perspectives while integrating it into leadership and career development plans alongside intellectual intelligence, emotional intelligence, and cultural intelligence. In order to fully motivate diverse employees, leaders must first be able to recognize differences between themselves and others without it being an obstacle to performance. This edition addresses new topics related to allyship and anti-racism, and discusses how these concepts can sometimes hinder diversity efforts. This book fits in the literature in areas of leadership and business value and aims to satisfy the need for solutions to why diversity training and management efforts continue to fall short of stated goals within organizations. It is a window into how leaders can reflect on their actions and behaviors to effectively implement new diversity strategies, and is an essential read for HR researchers, professionals, consultants, and managers of global operating companies.

You are already a leader, even if you don't yet know it. You can become a great leader, which the world desperately needs - leaders with courage, compassion, and the ability to raise each unique individual to their highest levels of performance. Leadership is a learned series of skills and behaviors; however, the path to becoming a great leader first begins with the acknowledgment that you are one, followed by your strong desire and commitment to be a great one. The leadership quotient is built on the premise and promise that everyone is a leader and that only by increasing the degree of mastery in all four critical areas can an individual transition from ordinary or mediocre into the more aspirational, urgently needed realm of truly great leaders. This practical guide to leadership is filled with tools and real-world examples that you can quickly add to your repertoire and immediately apply within your organization. These tools can be leveraged by every reader, from those who have never led before to those who have been leading for years. The Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu captured the essence of the leadership quotient principles in his quote, which ends with the line, "But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will all say, We did this ourselves." If you aspire to become that kind of leader, to add tools to your belt that position you to lead extremely well, then this book and those tools are your path to achieve that aspiration.

Do only technology companies have a corner on “network effects"—i.e. the magic that happens when users take on the work of growing networks to predominance because their transactional value is so clear? Think Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, Amazon, eBay, Uber, and the like. Or, is there a way to adapt this phenomenon to design equally omnipresent Changemaking Networks by harnessing changemaking network effects between systems that should work together for common good, but don’t—with technology as a possible enabler, but not a founding prerequisite? There is, says Sushmita Ghosh. In the first network effects playbook for social entrepreneurs, she presents the five core principles and accompanying strategies for pulling this off, distilled from extensive interviews with the founding entrepreneurs of 20 pioneering global Changemaking Networks. These have successfully orchestrated the coming together of several systems, their players, and concerned citizens to serve positive social change goals —such as "Zero Homelessness", "Health Care Without Harm" and "Holding Power to Account"—harnessing changemaking network effects. This playbook is a must-read for every social sector organization, company, funding agency, student, or concerned citizen who cares about a new way of organizing mass changemaking to outsmart and outpace the world’s biggest problems. Written for action-takers, it leaves every reader with a clear sense about how to get started on building Changemaking Networks. Today.

The properties of self-localized carriers on a lattice are described at a fairly basic level with an emphasis on modern developments in the theory of strong-coupling superconductivity. Large and small polarons and bipolarons provide a number of new physical phenomena both in the normal and superconducting states. The physics of high temperature superconductors is described and explained.

A biological physics text for a multidisciplinary audience, exploring the architectural structure of the cell.
