AI and IoT for Proactive Disaster Management fills that gap by examining how AI and IoT can revolutionize disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. It offers a deep dive into AI frameworks, IoT infrastructures, and the synergy of these technologies in predicting and managing natural disasters. By showcasing cutting-edge research and practical applications, this book equips readers with the knowledge and tools to harness AI and IoT for more efficient and effective disaster management strategies. Targeted at undergraduate and postgraduate students, academicians, research scholars, industry professionals, and technology enthusiasts, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the intersection of AI, IoT, and disaster management. It offers insights into emerging trends, ethical considerations, and best practices, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in leveraging technology to mitigate the impact of natural disasters.

Schools and universities educate (mostly young) people, to equip them to deal with the future as it unfolds from the present. The question — whether these schools and universities are fit for that purpose — has always been relevant, even in slow-paced times of relative stability, where the future seems predictable as a simple extension of the past.Now that the future is not predictable anymore. Slow-paced times have gone. The relative stability in which universities developed and educated successive generations is gone. The question whether universities are fit for purpose is now more relevant than ever.In this book, ten leading thinkers and eighteen students from different continents, countries and cultures present their views on futures of universities and whether present-day universities are fit for purpose. It is an exploration, meant to inform, inspire and crystallize discussions.

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich BWL - Allgemeines, Note: 1,3, Hochschule RheinMain, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit der Entwicklung der Pandemie hat sich der Ort sowie die Art und Weise wie Verbraucher einkaufen, verändert. Zu beobachten sind Menschen, die Regale leeren und einen größeren Einkaufskorb als üblich haben. Zudem mussten Geschäfte eine Zeit lang schließen und einige Verbraucher sind auf Online-Einkaufskanäle umgestiegen. Dieses veränderte Verbraucherverhalten stellt Unternehmen und Einzelhändler vor die Herausforderung, strategische Veränderungen durchzuführen, um während und auch nach dieser Krisenzeit lebensfähig zu bleiben. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie auf das Verbraucherverhalten, insbesondere auf das beobachtete Vorratsverhalten und die gesteigerte Präferenz für Online-Einkaufskanäle untersucht. Nach den zentralen Erkenntnis-sen dieser wissenschaftlichen Arbeit lassen sich die untersuchten Verhaltensweisen nicht wie erwartet durch die erhöhte Bedrohungs- und Risikowahrnehmung sowie durch erhöhte Angst und die verringerte wahrgenommene Kontrolle rechtfertigen. Das veränderte Online-Einkaufsverhalten lässt sich anhand der Variablen Alter, Selbstwirksamkeit, Risikoaversion und der Medienexposition erklären. Das Vorratsverhalten kommt durch Risikoaversion, Selbstwirksamkeit und Medienexposition zustande. Infolgedessen kann geschlossen werden, dass weitere Variablen Ein-fluss auf dieses Verhalten der Verbraucher während der Pandemie nehmen, worauf ebenso in dieser Arbeit eingegangen wird.
