The Fundamentals of Digital Currency: Demystifying the Social Experiment of New Money
by Wei Zhu Yun WuThis book is an in-depth examination of the inner workings, origins, and future trajectory of digital currencies. It presents an analytical overview of the technologies underpinning cryptocurrencies and explores their development from a technical, economic, and regulatory standpoint. Readers will gain an understanding of the philosophical debates surrounding digital currencies, including the varying degrees of decentralization and the challenges cryptocurrencies face for widespread adoption as public payment methods. The text also explores how anonymity within the blockchain is reconciled with increasing regulatory oversight. Central to the book’s discourse is the exploration of a potential future shaped by digital currency regulation, positing the emergence of a “Republic of Supremacy” as a hypothetical global authority. This scenario prompts a reevaluation of traditional concepts of sovereignty and the shifting landscape of power in the digital age. This book serves as an informative resource for a diverse audience, including those new to the digital currency conversation, individuals seeking to understand the sociological implications of these technologies, and tech innovators interested in the sector's evolution. It provides a factual and exploratory analysis, presenting a clear viewpoint through comprehensive and logical examination of the subject matter. This book is designed to equip readers with the knowledge to critically assess the current state and future possibilities of digital currencies within the global economic and social framework.
Finance and Law in the Metaverse World: Regulation and Financial Innovation in the Virtual World (Contributions to Finance and Accounting)
by Nadia Mansour Lorenzo M. Bujosa VadellThis edited volume examines the impact of the metaverse on finance and law. As the commercial development of the internet and digital technology has done for more than thirty years, the metaverse phenomenon raises questions about the relevance of existing legal rules in dealing with new practices: between the need for adaptation, evolution, or new rules. While the Blockchain ecosystem has developed steadily over the last few years and its applications are still evolving, can we assume that the metaverse will become "the most prodigious phenomenon of the 21st century"? The term metaverse refers to a virtual world. Technically, using known but evolving technologies, the term refers to a network of 3D virtual worlds. In its current state of development, there is a metaverse and not a single virtual world as there is an internal one, simply because its development is still dependent on proprietary technologies. The development of the metaverse is no less accurate, and a few recent examples suggest that lawyers will not be able to escape this phenomenon, which looks set to involve individuals, companies, and institutions. The financial world is not immune to the emergence of the metaverse either. Traditional finance is moving into new virtual worlds. Several banks and insurance companies are entering this world, far removed from their traditions. Some have even set up branches there. However, what are these financial institutions trying to achieve by entering this market segment? This book addresses these questions with contributions from academics and experts from both fields.
Sociology and Post-Socialist Transformations in Eastern Europe: A Cultural Political Economy Approach
by Borut Roncevic Tamara Besednjak ValičThe volume offers a unique and comprehensive reflection on the role of sociology and sociologists in the transformation of post-socialist Eastern European societies. It provides detailed insight on the status of sociology in Eastern Europe, its institutional development, specifics of national sociological traditions, the controversial and ambiguous relationship with the political system and, importantly, state-of-the-art knowledge about the role of sociology as a discipline and sociologists as academics, educators, public intellectuals, experts, politicians, or civil society activists in three decades of transformation. The volume follows a cultural political economy approach and provides a series of national case studies that analyse the role of sociology in re-imagining Eastern European societies. This topical volume is of interest to a wide, interdisciplinary readership in the social sciences, especially students and researchers working on Eastern Europe and on post-socialist societies.

A Calorie is a Calorie: The Inescapable Science that Controls Our Body Weight
by Keith FraynWe all know someone who seems to eat very little yet cannot avoid weight gain, or someone who eats everything they like while remaining slim. Why? Is it the kinds of food we eat, and when? Are our hormones to blame? Could it be chemicals in our environment? Even specialists are now questioning our understanding of the forces that shape body weight, and we are all more confused than ever.In this book, Keith Frayn, one of the world's leading experts on metabolism, argues that all these challenges are distracting us from tackling the obesity problem in the only way it can be addressed: by rebalancing the disregarded message of 'calories in - calories out'.Taking readers on a deep dive into the real science of energy balance, he reveals how nutrition research has been plagued by the difficulty of really knowing what people are eating and doing; why it is unlikely that some nutrients are intrinsically more fattening than others; how supposed differences between people in the speed of their metabolism vanish in the laboratory; how energy balance is altered in obese people and people who have managed to lose weight; and why these responses - honed over millennia of evolution - make dieting so hard. With clarity and insights from expert research, Frayn provides a clear-eyed perspective on current trends mired in controversy and confusion: time-restricted eating, intermittent fasting, low-carb versus low-fat meal plans, high-protein breakfasts and other dietary trickery. In a world where desirable, energy-rich food is increasingly plentiful, and labour-saving gadgets widespread, it becomes more and more difficult to stick to the simple message of energy balance. But, as Frayn shows, we can reshape our lives and improve our health by going back to what we know about calories, rediscovering the benefits of a more active life, and getting smart about what we eat.

Evolution of International Aviation: Seeking Profit in a Turbulent Industry
by Dawna L. Rhoades Jennifer L. HinebaughThe purpose of this book is twofold. First, it lays out the forces that shaped the international aviation industry and that changed all the rules in the drive for liberalization. Second, it looks at the many interesting and difficult choices ahead that the airline industry in general and the international aviation industry in particular face. These choices include many dichotomies: pulling back from the trend toward liberalization or embracing the liberalization trend, merging in search of profitability or fragmenting the industry in search of economies. These possible futures are explored, including the pros and cons of each future from a national, consumer, employer, and employee perspective. Evolution of International Aviation has been substantially revised to place the triple crises – 9/11, the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic – into context with the declared new Golden Age of 2018 (A4A), Brexit, renewed government aid around the globe, and the Ukraine conflict. It includes a new chapter on safety and security that will start with processes and technology introduced after 9/11 (such as the 24-hour rule, known shippers, and Global Entry programs) and end with recent biometrics and digital identity. As with the previous three editions, this fourth edition of Evolution of International Aviation reviews the historical development of the international aviation system. From this foundation it then provides an updated and expanded account of the current state of the aviation and aerospace industry, including profitability, consolidation, and merger activity. The book includes coverage of the industry segments – airlines, air cargo, and manufacturing – to include the emerging commercial space sector. It also emphasizes the relationship between aviation and the political process, exploring the sustainability of this mode of transportation in a world of climate change, high oil prices, and political instability. Because this book is intended for both the interested amateur and the more serious student, references are provided in the text and at the end of each chapter to allow for further in-depth study.
Introduction to Design Psychology
by Eleni KalantidouIn the age of climate change, psychology and design have been employed through impromptu collaborations to validate solutions and future scenarios.Introduction to Design Psychology contests this approach by proposing an ideological framework for an intentional, joint endeavour between psychology and design. Intentional design psychology is presented as a critical proposal grounded in unpredictability, nominating ways to activate new production, consumption, and habitation patterns. It unfolds through chapters exploring urban environments, technology, and consumer culture, making evident the need for new definitions of social resilience and adaptation. As part of this process, adaptive designs that enable resilient psychologies are revealed. By challenging the disciplinary status quo of psychology and design, this book aims to activate a new field of knowledge.Introduction to Design Psychology is essential for psychologists, designers, and urban planners, as well as professionals from affiliated fields, willing to reconfigure their own thinking and practice.

Villa and Palace in the Venetian Renaissance: The Palladian House Between Country and City
by Johanna D. HeinrichsDesigned by Andrea Palladio, the Villa Pisani at Montagnana was the country residence of a Venetian nobleman, Francesco Pisani. Unusually, its design combines features of both villa and palace architecture, and it challenges the conventional view of a villa as subsidiary to the urban palace, the true seat of an elite family. In this book, Johanna D. Heinrichs offers the first comprehensive study of the Villa Pisani, providing a critical analysis of Palladio's hybrid design, the villa's original setting and uses, and the preoccupations of its patron. Heinrichs argues that the Villa Pisani served as the owner's principal residence. She also shows how a microhistorical approach can provide new insights about a familiar Renaissance building type and about the theory and practice of a canonical architect. Based on scrutiny of original documents and visual sources, Heinrichs's study is supported by a rich illustration program composed of photographs, plans, maps, and digital reconstructions.
German Phonology: An Optimality-Theoretic Approach
by Caroline FéryDrawing on an optimality-theoretic framework, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the phonology of German, with its idiosyncratic array of sound patterns. It starts with the consonants and vowels and the distinctive features they consist of, moving on to account for allophonic changes in detail, as well as syllables and their weight units. Phonological processes are then explored in depth, with chapter-length explorations of feet, prosodic words, prosodic phrases, and intonation phrases, showing that the prosodic hierarchy provides the domains of most phonological processes. It also includes discussions of the interfaces of morphology and syntax with phonology, as well as prosodic phrasing and intonation. The constraint-based approach allows a new holistic perspective, simultaneously encompassing all aspects of German phonology. Wide-ranging yet accessible, it is essential reading for advanced students of both linguistics and German, as well as individual scholars seeking a one-stop resource on the topic.
Parties and New Technologies in Latin America (Elements in Politics and Society in Latin America)
by Gabriel Vommaro Rafael Piñeiro-Rodríguez Fernando Rosenblatt Laura Wills-OteroThis Element analyzes the incorporation of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) by different parties in Latin America to organize volunteers and mobilize supporters during elections. It assesses ICT-related changes in how parties recruit prospective candidates, collect information about citizens' preferences, and mobilize for elections and how these changes have reduced the power of the rank and file within party organizations. Party leaders have an incentive to incorporate new ICTs to increase electoral efficacy and reduce the role of rank-and-file members in performing essential party functions. However, the result of the incorporation of technology depends on leaders' capacity to control the process within the party. Based on case studies of ICT incorporation by various Latin American parties and electoral campaigns, the authors posit that the incorporation of technology will consolidate a power dynamic that predates the adoption of ICTs to fulfill organizational functions.
Constitution-Building After the Arab Spring: A Comparative Perspective (ASCL Studies in Comparative Law)
by Francesco BiagiHow were post-Arab Spring constitutions drafted? What are the most significant elements of continuity and change within the new constitutional texts? What purposes are these texts designed to serve? To what extent have constitutional provisions been enforced? Have the principles of constitutionalism been strengthened compared to the past? These are some of the key questions Francesco Biagi addresses. Constitution Building After the Arab Spring. A Comparative Perspective examines seven national experiences of constitution building in the Arab world following the 2011 uprisings, namely those of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. This interdisciplinary book, based largely on the author's own work and research in the region, compares these seven national experiences through four analytical frameworks: constitution-drafting and constitutional reform processes; separation of powers and forms of government; constitutional justice; and religion, women and non-Muslims within the framework of citizenship.
