Recently, the internet of things (IoT) has brought the vision of a smarter world into reality with a massive amount of data and numerous services. With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant attention by utilizing its machine learning algorithms for quality patient care. The integration of IoT with AI may open new possibilities for both technologies and can play a big part in smart healthcare by providing improved insight into healthcare data and allowing for more inexpensive personalized care. The Handbook of Research on Advancements in AI and IoT Convergence Technologies considers recent advancements in AI and IoT convergence technologies with a focus on state-of-the-art approaches, methodologies, and systems for the design, development, deployment, and innovative use of those convergence technologies. It also provides insight into how to develop AI and IoT convergence techniques to meet industrial demands and covers the emerging research topics that are going to define the future of AI and IoT convergence technology development. Covering key topics such as diseases, smart healthcare, social distance monitoring, and security, this major reference work is ideal for industry professionals, nurses, healthcare workers, computer scientists, policymakers, researchers, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Scaffold bone replacements are a safe and effective way to cure bone abnormalities, and porous scaffolds can be manufactured using additive manufacturing technology. When scaffolds are implanted in a damaged location, they quickly connect to the host tissue and integrate, stimulating bone production and development. The qualities of porous titanium must be matched to the properties of human bones (i.e., age, sex, and hormones). Using subtractive manufacturing, it is extremely difficult to create the complicated porous structure necessary for the desired characteristic. The Handbook of Research on Advanced Functional Materials for Orthopedic Applications highlights current research pertinent to the orthopedic applications of additive-produced scaffolds in order to consider the latest breakthroughs in the synthesis and multifunctional applications of scaffolds. Covering key topics such as tissue, additive manufacturing, and biomaterial, this major reference work is ideal for industry professionals, engineers, researchers, academicians, practitioners, scholars, instructors, and students.

Despite the technological advances accompanying growing globalization, the surprise of the COVID-19 pandemic changed the lives of everyone across the world. The responses were unpredictable and the consequences incalculable. Economic, social, and health inheritances in the short, medium, and long term are expected to be very serious. The challenges posed to governance in the various sectors of activity can be unique opportunities for future results. The importance of disseminating studies and academic discussions on the subject from a multidisciplinary perspective-economics, management, law, sociology, psychology, education, and communication-is emerging and can contribute to better governance policies. Multidisciplinary Approaches to Organizational Governance During Health Crises presents new structural and functional models for effective adaptation to global recovery. It explores trends in governance models, presents the current state of governance, and examines governance issues, challenges, and opportunities. Covering topics such as consumer perspectives, legal studies, and public sector procurement digitalization, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for economists, entrepreneurs, consultants, policymakers, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

"Teaching values is an important issue at the level of basic education, pre-school education and primary school all over the world. The values to be transferred to children and young people may vary according to countries, cultures and time. However, every culture and society wish to teach its own values to its citizens. Primary schools are the most important places where this aim is realized. For this reason, the main objective of this book is to examine and introduce values education studies at primary school level"--
