Download or read book Predicting Natural Disasters With AI and Machine Learning written by Satishkumar, D. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-02-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world where the relentless force of natural and man-made disasters threatens societies, the need for effective disaster management has never been more critical. Predicting Natural Disasters With AI and Machine Learning addresses the challenges of disasters and charts a path toward proactive solutions by applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). This book begins by interpreting the nature of disasters, clearly distinguishing between natural and man-made hazards. It delves into the intricacies of disaster risk reduction (DRR), emphasizing the human contribution to most disasters. Recognizing the necessity for a multifaceted approach, the book advocates the four ‘R’s - Risk Mitigation, Response Readiness, Response Execution, and Recovery - as integral components of comprehensive disaster management. This book explores various AI and ML applications designed to predict, manage, and mitigate the impact of natural disasters, focusing on natural language processing, and early warning systems. The contrast between weak AI, simulating human intelligence for specific tasks, and strong AI, capable of autonomous problem-solving, is thoroughly examined in the context of disaster management. Its chapters systematically address critical issues, including real-world data handling, challenges related to data accessibility, completeness, security, privacy, and ethical considerations.

Download or read book Higher Education written by and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-11-02 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COVID wrought havoc on the world’s economic systems. Higher education did not escape the ravages brought on by the pandemic as institutions of higher education around the world faced major upheavals in their educational delivery systems. Some institutions were prepared for the required transition to online learning. Most were not. Whether prepared or not, educators rose to the challenge. The innovativeness of educators met the challenges as digital learning replaced the face-to-face environment. In fact, some of the distance models proved so engaging that many students no longer desire a return to the face-to-face model. As with all transitions, some things were lost while others were gained. This book examines practice in the field as institutions struggled to face the worst global pandemic in the last century. The book is organized into four sections on “Perils and Promises”, “The State of Online Education”, “Goals and Challenges of Online Learning” and “Innovations in the Age of COVID”. It presents various perspectives from educators around the world to illustrate the struggles and triumphs of those facing new challenges and implementing new ideas to empower the educational process. These discussions shed light on the impact of the pandemic and the future of higher education post-COVID. Higher education has been forever changed, and higher education as it once was may never return. While many questions arise, the achievements in meeting and overcoming the pandemic illustrate the creativity and innovativeness of educators around the world who inspired future generations of learners to reach new heights of accomplishment even in the face of the pandemic.

Download or read book The Audit Society written by Michael Power and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1999-08-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1980s there has been an explosion of auditing activity in the United Kingdom and North America. In addition to financial audits there are now medical audits, technology audits, value for money audits, environmental audits, quality audits, teaching audits, and many others. Why has this happened? What does it mean when a society invests so heavily in an industry of checking and when more and more individuals find themselves subject to formal scrutiny? The Audit Society argues that the rise of auditing has its roots in political demands for accountability and control. At the heart of a new administrative style internal control systems have begun to play an important public role and individual and organizational performance has been increasingly formalized and made auditable. Michael Power argues that the new demands and expectations of audits live uneasily with their operational capabilities. Not only is the manner in which they produce assurance and accountability open to question but also, by imposing their own values, audits often have unintended and dysfunctional consequences for the audited organization.

Download or read book Evaluating Art and Design Research written by Walter Ysebaert and published by Vubpress. This book was released on 2019-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art and design research with its unique nature, its distinct practice-based research process and outcomes differs from scientific research and art and design praxis. The instutionalization of art and design research programmes in the past decade therefore poses major challenges for the parties involved. The contributions to this book address these challenges in different respects. The first part of the book is devoted to the institutionalization of art and design research in Flanders, the detrimental effects according to some authors, the opportunities it brings according to others. International contributors present an overview of the ways in which the uniqueness, the distinct research process, the exhibition of art and design research outcomes is dealt with in research evaluation practices in Australia, Norway, Sweden and Flanders. The second part of the book showcases investigave paths and subsequent findings followed and found by researchers affiliated to the Flemish Schools of Arts. The contributions address an audience of art and design research directors, coordinators and researchers and research professionals outside the field. It equally provides artists and designers with a selective overview of research activities being conducted within their domains of interest. With contributions from Karel Vanhaesebrouck, Luk Vaes, Peter De Graeve, Kathleen Coessens, Michael Schwab, Richard Blythe, Rolf Hughes, Gunnar Sivertsen, Binke van Kerckhoven, Walter Ysebaert & Birgitte Martens, Hannah Joris, Jeroen D'Hoe & Jo Van den Berghe, Aline Veiga Loureiro, Anne Pustlauk, Remco Roes, Mekhitar Garabedian, Jasper Rigole, Bart Geerts, Peter Van Goethem and Wesley Meuris.
