The Third Perspective
Author: Africa BrookePublisher: Hachette Go
ISBN: 0306835398
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
In our deeply divided, binary world, honest discussion is stressful for all sides. International thought leader Africa Brooke says there is another way: the Third Perspective. In this manifesto, Africa teaches us how to return to critical thinking and reduce societal divides by opening our minds and being more self-questioning in difficult discussions. This book will help you figure out what you truly believe—as opposed to parroting or having knee-jerk reactions in conversation. You’ll learn to share your views, hear theirs, make a point you feel must be made, and try to find common ground without self-censorship or self-sabotage. This personal guide helps readers move away from rigid thinking, allowing them to enter any potentially difficult discussion about politics, work, personal responsibility, race, sex, gender, religion — whatever the subject — while maintaining integrity, authenticity, and openness, and successfully expressing opinions while listening to contrary points of view. Africa has built a successful business coaching an exclusive roster of high-profile clients seeking to handle themselves in the public eye. The tools offered in The Third Perspective have been honed over years of that experience: hers is a proven system that works. She offers readers a new path for communication, and because communication is everything, critical to building trust and fruitful relationships, a life transforming experience. Africa Brooke’s framework has three pillars—Awareness, Responsibility, and Expression—that ask: what is stopping you from speaking your mind, what do you stand for, what are you willing to risk?

Book Description
This volume contains the papers which were selected for presentation at the second Bio- formatics Research and Development (BIRD) conference held in Vienna, Austria during July 7–9, 2008. BIRD covers a wide range of topics related to bioinformatics. This year sequence analysis and alignment, pathways, networks, systems biology, protein and RNA structure and function, gene expression/regulation and microarrays, databases and data integration, machine learning and data analysis were the subjects of main interest. The decisions of the Program Committee are based on the recommendations of at least three, up to five, reviews for each paper. As a result, 30 of the 61 submitted c- tributions could be accepted for the conference. We were happy to have three invited talks presented by experienced researchers providing visitors with a good overview but also some very important insights into the fascinating domain of bioinformatics. Abstracts and more information on these talks are provided in the conference program as well as at the conference site. In the second part of this volume the selected contributions of the two workshops which were held in parallel to the main conference are presented: Workshop on - namical Aspects of Perturbation, Intervention and Transition in Biological Systems – PETRIN 2008 and Workshop on Algorithms in Molecular Biology – ALBIO 2008 Poster presentations of the BIRD conference are in the companion proceedings published by the Trauner Verlag, Linz.

Applying Telecommunications and Technology from a Global Business Perspective
Author: Jay J. R. ZajasPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000525937
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
An exploration of the changes and developments in telecommunications over a span of fifty years by a business person and then Professor Emeritus, reflecting on the many changes that have taken place from when the word " telecommunications" did not exist. Two decades ago, his life in academia included no personal computer or any other desk in the Business Administration Department, and when the first fax machine came, it was hard to believe that a perfect copy of a proposed paper could be received by a long time co-author in Turku, Finland in minutes. First published in 1997, when e-mail and the Internet were still new to most people on campus.
Regulating Mobility as a Service (MaaS) in European Union
Author: Erion MuratiPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031467310
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory challenges and legal barriers surrounding the MaaS concept in the EU. By evaluating MaaS against existing EU legal frameworks on data sharing, competition, transport law and beyond, this research seeks to shed light on the regulatory implications of the MaaS concept. It employs a problem-based approach and qualitative doctrinal legal research methodology to assess the potential of MaaS in enhancing the efficiency, accessibility, sustainability, digitalization, multimodality, competitiveness, and convenience of the EU passenger transport sector, while identifying shortcomings in current EU regulatory frameworks that may impede its growth and analysing potential harms that rise of MaaS might cause to competition and users. The book concludes by providing recommendations aimed at enhancing the EU legal frameworks, with the goal of establishing a unified and harmonized framework that promotes an open, competitive, and multimodal MaaS market. In summary, producing a book on the regulatory challenges of MaaS in the EU now can contribute to the ongoing discourse, provide valuable insights, and offer guidance for policymakers, regulators, industry stakeholders, and researchers involved in shaping the future of mobility.
