Leveraging Blockchain Technology: Governance, Risk, Compliance, Security, and Benevolent Use Cases (Security, Audit and Leadership Series)
by Shaun AghiliBlockchain technology is a digital ledger system that allows for secure, transparent and tamper-proof transactions. It is essentially an often decentralized, distributed, peer-to-peer database that is maintained by a network of computers instead of a single entity, making it highly resistant to hacking and data breaches. By providing greater security, transparency and efficiency, blockchain technology can help to create a more equitable and sustainable world.Blockchain technology has the potential to help mankind in various ways, some of which include but are not limited to: Decentralization and Transparency: Blockchain technology allows for decentralization of data and transactions, making them more transparent and accountable. This is particularly important in fields such as finance, where trust and transparency are critical. Increased Security: Blockchain technology is inherently secure due to its distributed nature, making it very difficult for hackers to compromise the system. This makes it an ideal solution for data and information storage, particularly in areas such as health and finance, where privacy and security are of utmost importance. Faster Transactions: Blockchain technology eliminates the need for intermediaries, reducing the time and cost associated with transactions. This makes it an ideal solution for international trade, remittances and other types of financial transactions, especially in parts of the world where a great number of individuals do not have access to basic banking services. Immutable Record: One of the fundamental attributes of blockchain is its immutability. Once data is added to the blockchain, it becomes nearly impossible to alter or delete. This feature ensures a tamper-resistant and reliable record of transactions, crucial for maintaining integrity in various industries, including supply chain management and legal documentation. Smart Contracts: Blockchain technology supports the implementation of smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. This automation streamlines processes and reduces the risk of fraud, particularly in sectors like real estate and legal agreements. Interoperability: Blockchain’s ability to facilitate interoperability allows different blockchain networks to communicate and share information seamlessly. This attribute is pivotal for creating a unified and interconnected ecosystem, especially as various industries adopt blockchain independently. Interoperability enhances efficiency, reduces redundancy and fosters collaboration across diverse sectors. Leveraging Blockchain Technology: Governance, Risk, Compliance, Security, and Benevolent Use Cases discusses various governance, risk and control (GRC) and operational risk-related considerations in a comprehensive, yet non-technical, way to enable business leaders, managers and professionals to better understand and appreciate its various potential use cases. This book is also a must-read for leaders of non-profit organizations, allowing them to further democratize needs that we often take for granted in developed countries around the globe, such as access to basic telemedicine, identity management and banking services.

Leveraging Emotional and Artificial Intelligence for Organisational Performance
by Catherine PrenticeThis book takes a fresh stance and views EI and AI as services that are provided by service employees and machines as organisational offerings to customers. As emotional intelligence (EI) and artificial intelligence (AI) have been cited to have broad effects on individuals, businesses and beyond, this book is focused on the organisational context, specifically how they affect employees and customers from a marketing perspective. The stance in this book is consistent with the conceptualisation of a service. This book holds that intelligence in businesses must turn into organisational assets to manifest their values. Further, this book explores this service-dominant logic era, and compared to tangible products, service plays a key role in organisational performance and customer relationship with the organisation. Intelligence exhibited either by human or machine is not a tangible product, but can be utilised as a service to assist employees in performing tasks and delivering services as well as facilitating business transaction and customer experience.This book is structured as follows. Chapters 2 and 3 demystify emotional and artificial intelligence, from different perspectives, including conceptualisations, the history and evolution of the concepts, how they function and where they can apply to. These discussions help readers understand what exactly these two intelligences are. Chapters 4 and 5 analyse how emotional intelligence is related to employees and customers, respectively, with a focus on service organisations. Chapters 6–8 are dedicated to anatomising AI and how it is operationalised as a service to influence employees and customers. Specifically, viewing AI as a service, Chapter 6 examines the impact of AI service quality and how it is related to employee service quality. Chapter 7 analyses the influence of AI service quality on customers. Based on the discussion in Chapters 6 and 7, Chapter 8 is extended to develop a scale to measure such AI service, named AI service quality.The last three chapters of this book integrate EI and AI to analyse their respective impacts on employees and customers. Chapter 9 proposes EI as a moderator of AI, whereas Chapter 10 proposes AI as a moderator of EI. Chapter 11 employs service profit chain to integrate EI and AI in the chain relationship to understand their effects on both employees and customers. This chapter broadly covers the service industry with a focus on tourism and hospitality sector. The discussion on the impact of EI and AI is complemented with empirical studies conducted in tourism or hospitality context to address their effects in these sectors.

Leveraging the Wisdom of the Crowd in Software Testing
by Mukesh Sharma Rajini PadmanabanIts scale, flexibility, cost effectiveness, and fast turnaround are just a few reasons why crowdsourced testing has received so much attention lately. While there are a few online resources that explain what crowdsourced testing is all about, there's been a need for a book that covers best practices, case studies, and the future of this technique. Filling this need, Leveraging the Wisdom of the Crowd in Software Testing shows you how to leverage the wisdom of the crowd in your software testing process. Its comprehensive coverage includes the history of crowdsourcing and crowdsourced testing, implementation practices, and future trends. The book discusses best practices in implementation-explaining what, when, and how to crowdsource in a testing effort. It also includes case studies that illustrate how both product and service companies have successfully applied crowdsourcing in their testing programs. Explaining how to use the combined advantages of crowdsourcing and cloud computing for software testing, the book examines various engagement models in which you could implement crowdsourced testing. It addresses effective defect management in crowdsourced testing and considers both the business and engineering aspects of crowdsourced testing. The book explores the challenges, limitations, and situations when crowdsourced testing will not work and provides powerful best practices for mitigating the constraints and challenges, including how to build a crowdsourcing platform to test software products. Covering career opportunities for crowd testers, the book concludes by taking a look at the need to build a crowdsourced testing ecosystem, who the players of such an ecosystem would be, and who would need to champion such an effort.
Lexical Semantic Gene Structure of Modern Chinese
by Dan HuThis book draws on genetic theory to explore the microstructure of lexical meaning, the operating mechanism of the lexical semantic system and its formal representation, and methods for large-scale lexical computing resource construction. At the theoretical level, the basic framework of lexical semantic gene theory is proposed and elaborated. In this context, a lexical semantic gene is a basic structural unit of lexical meaning that controls a semantic feature of a word and can be inherited and recombined to construct a new word. Lexical meaning has multiple dimensions, and each dimension is regarded as a semantic feature composed of several lexical semantic genes according to certain semantic relations. The generation of new words is the result of the inheritance, reorganization, and mutation of lexical semantic genes. Drawing on this basis, the book subsequently explores the techniques of lexical semantic gene extraction and formalized description of lexical semantic genetic structure at the level of engineering technology. Bearing in mind the dual needs of formalized representation of semantic computation on the one hand and traditional language teaching, research, and lexicography on the other, the book employs language fact analysis to define strategies, methods, and operational procedures for a lexical semantic gene depiction meta-language system, lexical semantic genetic structure analysis, and lexical semantic gene extraction. At the application level, the computational and traditional applications of the lexical semantic gene database are discussed.
Leśniewski's Systems of Logic and Foundations of Mathematics
by Rafal UrbaniakThis meticulous critical assessment of the ground-breaking work of philosopher Stanislaw Leśniewski focuses exclusively on primary texts and explores the full range of output by one of the master logicians of the Lvov-Warsaw school. The author's nuanced survey eschews secondary commentary, analyzing Leśniewski's core philosophical views and evaluating the formulations that were to have such a profound influence on the evolution of mathematical logic. One of the undisputed leaders of the cohort of brilliant logicians that congregated in Poland in the early twentieth century, Leśniewski was a guide and mentor to a generation of celebrated analytical philosophers (Alfred Tarski was his PhD student). His primary achievement was a system of foundational mathematical logic intended as an alternative to the Principia Mathematica of Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell. Its three strands--'protothetic', 'ontology', and 'mereology', are detailed in discrete sections of this volume, alongside a wealth other chapters grouped to provide the fullest possible coverage of Leśniewski's academic output. With material on his early philosophical views, his contributions to set theory and his work on nominalism and higher-order quantification, this book offers a uniquely expansive critical commentary on one of analytical philosophy's great pioneers.
Liability for Crimes Involving Artificial Intelligence Systems
by Gabriel HallevyThe book develops a general legal theory concerning the liability for offenses involving artificial intelligence systems. The involvement of the artificial intelligence systems in these offenses may be as perpetrators, accomplices or mere instruments. The general legal theory proposed in this book is based on the current criminal law in most modern legal systems. In most modern countries, unmanned vehicles, sophisticated surgical systems, industrial computing systems, trading algorithms and other artificial intelligence systems are commonly used for both industrial and personal purposes. The question of legal liability arises when something goes wrong, e. g. the unmanned vehicle is involved in a car accident, the surgical system is involved in a surgical error or the trading algorithm is involved in fraud, etc. Who is to be held liable for these offenses: the manufacturer, the programmer, the user, or, perhaps, the artificial intelligence system itself? The concept of liability for crimes involving artificial intelligence systems has not yet been widely researched. Advanced technologies are forcing society to face new challenges, both technical and legal. The idea of liability in the specific context of artificial intelligence systems is one such challenge that should be thoroughly explored.
