Innovative and Responsible Mining for Inclusive Growth: Proceedings, 11th Asian Mining Congress, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, October 30–31, 2025 (Springer Proceedings in Earth and Environmental Sciences)
by Amalendu Sinha Bhabesh Chandra Sarkar Prabhat Kumar MandalCombating the menace of climate change, implementing energy transition and living up to strong societal expectations are serious global concerns. Strangely, the mining activities remain enigmatic to society, though mining footprints are omnipresent in most of our household items as well as in many technological breakthroughs. Thus, the Mining Sector in particular and the Mineral Sector at large have to be more responsible and responsive to make their contribution to nation-building more visible. The stakeholders need to brainstorm to work out the best practices that would recognise them as responsible entrepreneurs. In view of these, The Mining, Geological and Metallurgical Institute of India (MGMI), established way back on 16th January 1906, and one of the oldest institutions of this kind in the world, is organizing the 11th Asian Mining Congress (AMC) during October 30-31, 2025 in Kolkata, India with the Theme, &“Innovative & Responsible Mining for Inclusive Growth&”. The AMC and International Mining Exhibition (IME), held concurrently, are flagship international events organized by MGMI biennially since its centenary year. This series have provided ample opportunities to all stakeholders, including practising engineers, machinery manufacturers, planners, regulators, academicians, scientists and policy makers, for sharing their knowledge, experience and expertise and exhibit their products that can benefit the mining and mineral industries not only in the Asian region but also globally. The proceedings of the 11th AMC comprise insightful articles authored by renowned experts and thought leaders from various disciplines. These contributions highlight recent developments and innovations in the mining sector, aimed at promoting sustainable practices, enhancing technological cooperation, and fostering inclusive growth. This compilation serves as a valuable resource for driving progress in mineral production while exploring new avenues for responsible and sustainable business practices, benefitting both the Asian and global mining communities.

Nerve Transfers for Brachial Plexus Reconstruction after Trauma
by Alexander Y. Shin Fernando Guedes Lukas Rasulic Mariano Socolovsky Christian HeinenBrachial plexus injury (BPI) is one of the most functionally devastating injuries, as it causes substantial debilitation and long-term difficulties in daily activities. The burden for the patient and the caregiver may arise not only from neurological disability but also from psychosocial and socioeconomic factors.This injury is more prevalent among young men aged 15 to 25 and is primarily caused by road accidents, especially those involving motorbikes. Other significant causes include obstetric injuries, severe trauma from falls, direct or blunt blows, penetrating injuries, forced traction, and compression injuries.If a nerve has been divided by a sharp laceration, it can usually be repaired with a direct suture. If a nerve tract has been damaged, as is often the case when it has been subjected to severe traction injuries, repair will require a nerve graft. Brachial plexus nerve grafts are typically required for lacerations to achieve a tension-free repair. While neurolysis, nerve repair, and nerve grafting have been employed to address stretching plexus injuries, nerve transfers utilize an undamaged nerve to provide motor input over a relatively short distance to reinnervate a denervated muscle. This approach has become the preferred and most extensively studied technique for nerve repair today, with numerous pathways aiming to enhance functional outcomes. So far, no comprehensive effort has been made to categorize and classify the various nerve transfer techniques and procedures for BPI patients; this is the first book to accomplish that. Neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and hand surgeons must understand and select the most effective methods for treating their BPI patients.

Political Knowledge Regimes: Expertise and Politics in France and Uruguay during COVID-19 (Studies in the Political Economy of Public Policy)
by Robert H. Cox Adolfo GarcéThis book examines policy responses to Covid-19 in Uruguay and France, in order to shed light on an important new concept in contemporary political science: political knowledge regimes. This concept considers the link between expertise and policymaking, paying particular attention to the demand for scientific knowledge from politicians and policymakers, and why they choose to accept or reject expert advice. The book begins by assessing the interplay between science, expertise and politics in both countries prior to the pandemic. It then explores if and why the recommendations made by experts during the crisis were translated by politicians into actual policies. Whereas in France policymakers followed the advice of scientists throughout the course of the pandemic, there was much divergence in Uruguay. This was due to several important differences, including political culture and the characteristics of political elites. Together, these created very different political knowledge regimes within the two countries. The book concludes by examining political knowledge regimes in other countries and sets out a future research agenda, making it a vital resource for scholars and students around the world. It will appeal to all those interested in public policy, health policy and comparative politics.

Liouville’s Theory in Linear and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (Springer Asia Pacific Mathematics Series #8)
by Takashi SuzukiA variety of theorems named the Liouville property play fundamental roles in modern theory of mathematical analysis. Understanding each of them individually is not so difficult nowadays. What are they pointing toward in their totality, however? This monograph asserts that self-organization may be an answer, searching recent studies on linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. Critical breakthroughs have emerged in accordance with the widely spread classical ideas of J. Liouville in various forms, that is, the spectral, elliptic, surface, and transport theories, in turn. A fusion of them is seen in recently developing research fields—mathematical oncology, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, dynamical theory, and shape optimization—which taken together may be called the potential for self-organization.
