Book Description
Even before the official christening of the CSSY Design Program in 2009, FIU and UniGE had been working together to develop unique educational opportunities for their students. With the first exchange taking place in the summer of 2008, FIU Interior Architecture hosted the nautical design students from UniGE for a week; a test with positive results that would help promoting the advantages of further developing this international initiative. After more than a year of logistics and hard work, the exchange happened once more in 2010, this time the American students got the opportunity of traveling abroad to La Spezia where, for a week, they worked along the Italian students in the development of a small case study project. Since then, the transatlantic exchanges have kept a faithful dynamic making of 2018 the closing year of a prosperous and wonderful decade of international relationship. Anche prima del battesimo ufficiale del CSSY Design Program, FIU e UniGE hanno lavorato insieme per sviluppare opportunità educative uniche per i loro studenti. Con il primo scambio che ha avuto luogo nell’estate del 2008, FIU Interior Architecture ha ospitato il gruppo di design navale e nautico di UniGE per una settimana; un test con risultati positivi che avrebbe contribuito a promuovere i vantaggi di sviluppare ulteriormente questa iniziativa internazionale. Dopo più di un anno di logistica e duro lavoro, lo scambio si è rinnovato nel 2010 e questa volta il gruppo americano ha avuto l’opportunità di viaggiare all’estero a La Spezia dove, per una settimana, ha lavorato assieme agli studenti italiani nello sviluppo di un piccolo progetto. Da allora, gli scambi internazionali hanno mantenuto una solida continuitá, facendo si che il 2018 coronasse un prospero e meraviglioso decennio di relazioni internazionali.

Book Description
"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.

Universal Design in Higher Education
Author: Sheryl E. Burgstahler
Publisher: Harvard Education Press
ISBN: 1612500935
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Universal Design in Higher Education looks at the design of physical and technological environments at institutions of higher education; at issues pertaining to curriculum and instruction; and at the full array of student services. Universal Design in Higher Education is a comprehensive guide for researchers and practitioners on creating fully accessible college and university programs. It is founded upon, and contributes to, theories of universal design in education that have been gaining increasingly wide attention in recent years. As greater numbers of students with disabilities attend postsecondary educational institutions, administrators have expressed increased interest in making their programs accessible to all students. This book provides both theoretical and practical guidance for schools as they work to turn this admirable goal into a reality. It addresses a comprehensive range of topics on universal design for higher education institutions, thus making a crucial contribution to the growing body of literature on special education and universal design. This book will be of unique value to university and college administrators, and to special education researchers, practitioners, and activists.

Peace Through Tourism
Author: Freya Higgins-Desbiolles
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000828034
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 538
Book Description
Peace through Tourism considers the possibilities for tourism to contribute to efforts to unmask conflict and promote peace. This edited volume considers the intersections between tourism, peace, justice and sustainability through conceptual and empirical works surveying practices, problems and challenges all around the globe. It presents a complex and critical approach, arguing that peace through tourism is dialogic and not as simple as describing a few “good” niche segments of tourism. The pedagogies of peace represented here work to analyse structural violence associated with tourism—such as in the dominance of neoliberal market imperatives over local or social economies; colonising, patriarchal and anthropocentric practices in tourism; and tourism’s complex role in post-conflict settings. Analyses found here place scholars, industry and communities in conversation about building shared tourism futures where peace is understood as peace with justice and differences are bridged through dialogues towards understanding. In light of the many challenges in attaining sustainable development in the 21st century, this volume is an important and timely endeavour. Radical practices are explored that support more ‘just’ tourism futures. With a new introduction, this book is an insightful resource for scholars and researchers of Tourism and Peace and Conflict Studies. The chapters in this book were originally published in Journal of Sustainable Tourism.

Monitoring and Protection of Critical Infrastructure by Unmanned Systems
Author: P. Daponte
Publisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 1643683772
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The attention of many developed countries has increasingly focused on the security and protection of critical infrastructure. The use of Unmanned Systems (USs) for this purpose has been growing rapidly in recent years, as advances in technology, increased versatility and smaller size, together with the reduced risks and costs associated with removing the need for a pilot or operator on board, have all made these systems more attractive. This book, Monitoring and Protection of Critical Infrastructure by Unmanned Systems, presents 15 papers delivered at the NATO Advanced Training Course (ATC) of the same name hosted in Chisinau, the Republic of Moldova, from 30 May to 5 June 2022. This event was held in a hybrid format, and was attended in-person by 12 of the 31 speakers and the majority of the 92 attendees. The aim of the ATC was to explore the monitoring and protection of critical infrastructure using USs. Various USs, including ground control stations (GCS), data communication links, and a range of unmanned aerial (UAV), ground (UGV) and underwater (UUV) vehicles are covered, and the papers included here also deal with topics such as the use of drones for buildings inspection and the new technologies which can help with the recognition and monitoring of anthropogenic threats and natural hazards. There is also a focus on data analysis and modeling. Providing an overview of the use of unmanned vehicle systems and sensor-network technology for monitoring and protection, the book will be of interest to all those working to protect critical infrastructure.
