كتاب العشق الإلكتروني
by عبدالله علي الأسمريكم كانت رائعة تلك اللحظة التي قررت فيها قبل عقد من الزمن أن أدلف إلى مقهى للإنترنت في قلب مدينة الرياض لأول مرة في حياتي. رأيت عامل المقهى وقد ارتسمت على وجهه ابتسامة عريضة وهو يقودني إلى مربع صغير يحوي طاولة انتصب عليها جهاز حاسوبي ذي شاشة عريضة. بدا المكان معزولا من ثلاث جهات أما الجهة الرابعة والتي يتم من خلالها الدخول فكانت عبارة عن باب صغير ينغلق بمجرد الدخول. بعد أن استويت على المقعد هرع العامل إلى أيقونة المتصفح browser ليطمس منه سجل المستخدم السابق وذلك - على ما يبدو - لكي لا أ لقي نظرة على ما كان يفعله من جاء قبلي. لم تسعفني خبرتي إذ ذاك في تفسر مغزى ذلك التصرف

Decision Making in Social Sciences: Between Traditions and Innovations (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #247)
by Šárka Hošková-Mayerová Fabrizio Maturo Cristina Flaut Daniel Flaut Cristina IspasThis book explores several branches of the social sciences and their perspectives regarding their relations with decision-making processes: computer science, education, linguistics, sociology, and management. The decision-making process in social contexts is based on the analysis of sound alternatives using evaluative criteria. Therefore, this process is one that can be rational or irrational, and can be based on knowledge and/or beliefs. A decision-making process always produces a final decision, which may or may not imply prompt action, and increases the chances of choosing the best possible alternative. The book is divided into four main parts. The concepts covered in the first part, on computer science, explore how the rise of algorithms and the growth in computing power over the years can influence decision-making processes. In the second part, some traditional and innovative ideas and methods used in education are presented: compulsory schooling, inclusive schools, higher education, etc. In turn, the third part focuses on linguistics aspects, and examines how progress is manifested in language. The fourth part, on sociology, explores how society can be influenced by social norms, human interactions, culture, and religion. Management, regarded as a science of the decision-making process, is explored in the last part of this book. Selected organizations’ strategies, objectives and resources are presented, e.g., human resources, financial resources, and technological resources. The book gathers and presents, in a concise format, a broad range of aspects regarding the decision-making process in social contexts, making it a valuable and unique resource for the scientific community.

by Şefika Şule Erçetin Şuay Nilhan Açıkalın Luís ToméThe proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Chaos, Complexity, and Leadership present various concepts of diverse research methodologies to explore chaos and complexity across different scientific fields of leadership. Particular emphasis will be placed on investigating non-linearity to stimulate discussion on novel approaches and perspectives regarding chaos, complexity, and leadership. The book delves into recent developments from diverse fields, employing chaos and complexity theory as analytical tools. Readers will find insights into important contemporary events, regardless of the various perspectives across social, political, economic, or scientific domains. It integrates numerous aspects and challenges regarding the impact of chaos and complexity on our world, utilizing nonlinear dynamics to suggest transformative policies. It aims to investigate and predict future paths through an interdisciplinary approach. Given the current societal and economic turbulence, leadership across all sectors necessitates reassessment. Consequently, this book primarily targets individuals interested in nonlinear science and leadership. However, its content extends its appeal to a broader audience due to its application of chaos and complexity to other disciplines. The primary audience comprises academics, professionals, and decision-makers seeking to implement new approaches and methodologies in practice.

Women Leaders in Chaotic Environments: Examinations of Leadership Using Complexity Theory (Lecture Notes in Social Networks)
by Şefika Şule ErçetinThis book spotlights how women leaders behave in chaotic environments and features examples of women who have been key figures in determining complex socio-economic outcomes throughout history. Women leaders can be seen on many high- levels in the political arena, be they a prime minister, empress or opinion leader. From Kösem Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to Benazir Bhutto, women leaders have had an undeniable effect on modern history. Is it possible to understand the current role of women in politics in Turkey without the First Lady Emine Erdoğan? Can we analyze Europe’s future without Angela Merkel? There are many different books about women leaders' biography or memoirs of persons who worked closely with them. However, until now, no in-depth scientific analysis of such women leaders with respect to chaos and complexity theory has been available. This work represents a unique and important step towards filling this gap in research, and includes an epilogue presenting women’s leadership model visualized by an eight-pointed star.
From Digital Divide to Digital Inclusion: Challenges, Perspectives and Trends in the Development of Digital Competences (Lecture Notes in Educational Technology)
by Łukasz Tomczyk Francisco D. Guillén-Gámez Julio Ruiz-Palmero Akhmad HabibiThis book offers an expert perspective on two key phenomena in the development of the information society, namely digital inclusion and digital exclusion. Despite the intensive digitalization of various areas in human activity, the lack of proper information and communications technology (ICT) literacy, the lack of access to high-speed Internet, and the still unsatisfactory level of e-services are a reality in many regions and countries. This edited book presents a unique overview of research related to the dynamics of digital exclusion and the development of digital competences, as well as an analysis of the most effective educational solutions to foster the digital inclusion of disadvantaged groups. This book is particularly useful for educators dealing with the topic of digital exclusion and inclusion and who are looking for knowledge on enhancing digital competences in disadvantaged groups. It is also helpful for social policy makers involved in designing solutions to minimize various forms of digital exclusion.
