The Multi-Disciplinary Instructional Designer: Integrating Specialized Skills into Design Toolkits

by Chris Gamrat Megan Kohler

The Multi-Disciplinary Instructional Designer explores how the instructional design and development process can be energized and deepened through principles gleaned from other fields of academic study. Despite their shared academic preparation and theoretical foundations, many instructional designers come to the profession also bearing formative knowledge from a diverse range of other subject areas, career tracks, creative practices, or intellectual pursuits. Their training, however, typically does not prepare them to leverage these specializations into the creation of more effective educational experiences and materials. This first-of-its-kind book guides instructional designers to apply key concepts, strategies, and lessons learned from a variety of disciplines – spanning the social sciences, arts and humanities, and STEM – to their practice. Chapters replete with example scenarios, reflection activities, and field-tested strategies provide an expansive yet actionable reframing of the profession’s potential. By seeking inspiration across disciplines and from the world at large, instructional designers will emerge with robust and revitalized toolkits, ready to enrich their approach to teaching and learning.

System Dynamics for Complex Problems in Pavement Engineering

by Rajib Mallick

Increasingly, segments of the civil infrastructure are considered to be parts of larger systems, which requires a systems approach for a fuller and proper understanding of and solutions to problems. Unfortunately, the subject of a system or a systems approach is barely covered in a standard civil and environmental engineering curriculum. Most, if not all, civil engineering problems involve interdependency, and hence segmented approaches of learning one individual topic at a time make it difficult for students to learn, understand, and apply rational concepts for the design, construction, and maintenance of larger infrastructure components. System Dynamics for Complex Problems in Pavement Engineering presents an introduction to a systems approach to help readers evolve and develop their capabilities of learning, communicating, and researching through system dynamics modeling and experimentation.Furthermore, it helps students appreciate the need for systems thinking in modeling, analyzing, and proposing solutions for multidisciplinary problems in pavement engineering.

This step-by-step practical guide is intended mainly for postgraduate students and early career researchers in chemical science and the libraries that serve them but will also be useful to other scientists. Key Features: Improves the reader’s chances of getting their manuscript published in chemistry journals. Increases the likelihood of winning research grants in chemistry. Takes a “lead by the hand” approach. Contains chapters on the preparation of graphical abstracts and research highlights. Uses sketches and other illustration styles to aid mental visualization of concepts. Contains practical examples taken from published papers and successful research grant proposals.

Powering Through: Energy Resilience Planning from Grid to Government

by Brian Levite Alex Rakow

The threats to the electricity grid are on the rise at the same time as society is increasing its dependence on electricity for every aspect of our personal, social, and economic lives. We are accelerating that dependence – looking to the electrification of transportation and buildings as a way to stem the threats of climate change. Those threats have now arrived (in the form of more extreme weather, droughts, and wildfire) and they are joined by increasing threats from an aging grid and cyberattacks. The grid we rely on is experiencing increasingly vulnerable external forces. We aren’t helpless. Effective planning around these threats can dramatically reduce the havoc they engender on the electric grid. At every level, from a single building, to a city, to the electric grid and the federal government, steps can be taken to improve our resilience to threats to the electricity system. When those efforts are coordinated, their benefits multiply. This book aims to provide every level of decision-maker with tools and best practices for reducing the risk of and from electricity loss. It is written in non-technical language, with a focus on actionable, easily implemented steps.

Fishing Europe's Troubled Waters: Fifty Years of Fisheries Policy (Earthscan Oceans)

by David Symes

Spanning the last 50 years of fisheries policy in Europe, this book is the parting contribution and career-spanning reflection from one of Europe’s most renowned social scientists working in the field of fisheries management and policy. The last 50 years have without doubt been the most turbulent years in the history of North Atlantic fisheries – a turbulence brought about by the actions of fishers, scientists and above all politicians. It is a period of change that sees a radical redrawing of the political geography of fisheries, globalisation of trade, the development of fisheries management towards increasingly restrictive regulation, and declining fish stocks. The book explains why the bold but deeply flawed Common Fisheries Policy persistently failed to deliver its basic goal of sustainable fisheries. The spotlight falls on the monolithic, highly centralised, command and control nature of the Policy that strives to apply a universal ‘one size fits all’ approach, thus creating a governing system wholly unsuited to the system to be governed, out of kilter with preferred models of governance, and disconnected from the practical realities of fishing as a livelihood in a challenging environment. A final section on Brexit focuses on its halting progress from concept to reality, the implications for the fisheries sector and the fateful final negotiations with the EU over the fisheries question. Seeking to explain why the anticipated benefits for the UK industry failed to materialise, attention is drawn to the misplaced political hubris over regaining ‘sovereignty’ in areas like the North Sea. This book will be essential reading for students, scholars, professionals and policymakers working on fisheries, marine governance, natural resource management, environmental policy and the European Project.

5G Cyber Risks and Mitigation

by Sabhyata Soni

5 G technology is the next step in the evolution of wireless communication. It offers faster speeds and more bandwidth than 4G. One of the biggest differences between 4G and 5G is that 5G will be used for a wider range of applications. This makes it ideal for applications such as autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and the internet of things. This means that there will be more devices connected to 5G networks, making them more vulnerable to cyber attacks. However, 5 G also introduces new cyber risks that need to be addressed. In addition, 5 G networks are expected to be much more complex, making them harder to secure. 5G networks will use new technologies that could make them more vulnerable to attack. These technologies include massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output), which uses more antennas than traditional cellular networks, and millimeter wave (mmWave), which uses higher frequencies than traditional cellular networks. These new technologies could make it easier for attackers to intercept data or disrupt service. To address these concerns, security measures must be implemented throughout the network. Security mechanisms must be included in the design of 5G networks and must be updated as new threats are identified. Moreover, to address these risks, 5 G security standards need to be developed and implemented. These standards should include measures to protect against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, malware infections, and other threats. Fortunately, artificial intelligence can play a key role in mitigating these risks. With so many interconnected devices, it can be difficult to identify and isolate malicious traffic. AI can help by identifying patterns in data that would otherwise be undetectable to humans. 6G technology is still in the early developmental stages, but security experts are already voicing concerns about the potential challenges that could arise with this next generation of mobile connectivity. Experts are already working on a roadmap for 6G deployment, and they are confident that these and other challenges can be overcome.
