This book presents essentially a collection of proceedings that deliberate on the key challenges and recent trends on robotics, automation and data analytics which are the pillars of Industry 4.0.

The World Conference on Qualitative Research (WCQR) is an annual event that aims to bring together researchers, academics and professionals, promoting the sharing and discussion of knowledge, new perspectives, experiences and innovations on Qualitative Research.

It also makes it possible to replace the usual field of coefficients for cohomology, the field of real numbers, with any field of arbitrary characteristic, and hence change (equivariant) de Rham cohomology to the usual singular (equivariant) cohomology .

This book intends to unite studies in different fields related to the development of the relations between logic, law and legal reasoning. Combining historical and philosophical studies on legal reasoning in Civil and Common Law, and on the often neglected Arabic and Talmudic traditions of jurisprudence, this project unites these areas with recent technical developments in computer science.This combination has resulted in renewed interest in deontic logic and logic of norms that stems from the interaction between artificial intelligence and law and their applications to these areas of logic. The book also aims to motivate and launch a more intense interaction between the historical and philosophical work of Arabic, Talmudic and European jurisprudence.The publication discusses new insights in the interaction between logic and law, and more precisely the study of different answers to the question: what role does logic play in legal reasoning? Varying perspectives include that of foundational studies (such as logical principles and frameworks) to applications, and historical perspectives.

This book presents the latest advances in manufacturing from both the experimental and simulation point of view. Experimental studies on manufacturing processes require funds, time and expensive facilities, while numerical simulations and mathematical models can improve the efficiency of using the research results.

The papers cover current research Artificial Intelligence Against COVID-19, Internet of Things Healthcare Systems, Deep Learning Technology, Sentiment analysis, Cyber-Physical System, Health Informatics, Data Mining, Power and Control Systems, Business Intelligence, Social media, Control Design, and Smart Systems.

This book is a reflection of the modern scientific view of current and future problems and prospects of industry development: equipment and technologies. It combines the results of advanced researches of industry development: equipment and technologies in the field of various sciences ¿ both technical and humanitarian, the synthesis of which allowed forming a holistic meta-scientific concept of industry development: equipment and technologies. The book consists of two parts. The first part reflects technical problems and ways of industry development: equipment and technologies. It examines the promising technologies for modern industrial development, the technogenic factors of neo-industrialization in the context of digital economy, strategic guidelines for the industry development: equipment and technologies from the standpoint of sustainable development, as well as integration mechanisms for the industry development: equipment and technologies,and scientific support for their activation. In the second part, organizational and managerial problems and ways of industry development: equipment and technologies are disclosed. The industry development: equipment and technologies were studied: a view from the standpoint of economics and management, legal barriers to the industry development: equipment: and technologies and the prospects for overcoming them, the impact of globalization on the industry development: equipment: and technologies and recommendations for managing internationalization, as well as social issues of industry development: equipment and technologies in the aspect of human resource¿s training and management. The book combines the best works presented at the International Research and Practice Conference" Actual Problems and Ways of Industry Development: Equipment and Technologies", organized by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur State University and the Institute of Scientific Communications and held in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (Russia) September 28¿October 1, 2020. The target audience of the book is academic scientists studying issues of industry development: equipment and technologies, as well as industrial enterprises and government regulators of industry development: equipment and technologies.

This book presents a systemic perspective on the broadly perceived problem of social care, meant in terms of a network engaging balanced resources and actors to assure the functionality, in an integrative approach.
