"This new volume focuses on the application of artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and the Internet of Things to meet the new challenges faced by higher education due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which necessitated restrictions to gathered groups of students and others and increased the need for alternative means of teaching, learning, and communication. With a need to find alternatives to the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning during the pandemic, the authors of Advancements in Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain Technology and IoT in Higher Education: Mitigating the Impact of Covid-19 discuss the best use of technologies in many areas of study in higher education. The book addresses the growing role of AI in the digital transformation in higher education systems, looking at learning and teaching models. The authors look at using digital technologies to create smart universities and the use of blockchain and IoT technologies in higher education. With chapters from eminent professors, researchers, and others involved in higher education from a selection of different countries, the peer-reviewed chapters in this volume highlight how educators, administrators, and students in higher education have embraced these new technologies and how they can be continued and enhanced even after the threat of Covid has passed and in preparation for new deadly pandemics."--

With a need to find alternatives to the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning during the pandemic, this topical volume discusses the best use of technologies in higher education, addressing the growing role of AI in the digital transformation of higher education systems. With chapters from eminent professors, researchers, and others involved in higher education from a selection of different countries, the volume looks at blockchain and IoT technologies to create smart universities now and for the future.

​This handbook is a comprehensive source of information, analysis and directions in disaster studies. It goes beyond the oft-explored issues of management and science related to the topic and explores policies, governance, law and decision-making combined with the processes of implementation and enforcement, all the while integrating the latest science and technology updates related to the topic, such as artificial intelligence and early warning systems. It brings together studies which relate to sociology, politics and institutional economics, which work under the impact of resource availability, issues of leadership and international laws. Disasters are trans-boundary and disaster studies are trans-disciplinary. It is this aspect which would form the fulcrum of contributions and present a new, refreshing and innovative design for the handbook. The transformatory pedagogy which started with the Hyogo Framework for action 2005-2015 and The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 outlines seven clear targets and four priorities for action to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risks. The four priority areas around which the book would revolve are (i) Understanding disaster risk; (ii) Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk; (iii) Investing in disaster reduction for resilience and; (iv) Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response, and to "Build Back Better" in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction.

Due to advances in technology, particularly in artificial intelligence and robotics, the service sector is being reshaped, and AI may even be necessary for survival of the service industries. Innovations in digital technology lead to improving processes and, in many situations, are a solution to improving the efficiency and the quality of processes and services. This volume examines in depth how AI innovation is creating knowledge, improving efficiency, and elevating quality of life for millions of people and how it applies to the service industry. This volume addresses advances, issues, and challenges from several points of view from diverse service areas, including healthcare, mental health, finance, management, learning and education, and others. The authors demonstrate how service practices can incorporate the subareas of AI, such as machine learning, deep learning, blockchain, big data, neural networks, etc. The diverse roster of chapter authors includes 48 scholars from different fields, (management, public policies, accounting, information technologies, engineering, medicine) along with executives and managers of private enterprises and public bodies in different sectors, from life sciences to healthcare. Several chapters also evaluate AI’s application in service industries during the COVID-19 era. This book, Incorporating AI Technology in the Service Sector: Innovations in Creating Knowledge, Improving Efficiency, and Elevating Quality of Life, provides professionals, administrators, educators, researchers, and students with useful perspectives by introducing new approaches and innovations for identifying future strategies for service sector companies.
