Gender Differences in Technology and Innovation Management : Insights from Experimental Research
Even though the number of working women has steadily increased over the last few years, women are still significantly under-represented in STEM activities (i.e. mathematics, informatics, science and technology). In order to eliminate this under-representation, numerous education policies and corporate initiatives, particularly in the recent past, have been aimed at increasing women's enthusiasm for STEM activities and professions.According to the latest surveys, however, it is clear that these efforts have not yet led to the desired success.Compared to their male counterparts, women continue to do fewer STEM activities. One possible reason for this is that relatively little is yet known about the concrete impact of the above education policies on working with innovation and technology: What are the gender differences between women and men?Is it enough to recognize these differences, or should these differences ideally not only be recognized, but also treated appropriately or even encouraged? This anthology deals with current topics in technology and innovation management against the background of these and other gender-relevant aspects.Empirical analyses and experiments in collaboration with companies from various sectors provide a sound scientific basis on which new results and findings are presented: How do women and men deal with creativity and competition?How are technologies applied and how can differences in access to technology be deduced? Answers to these and other questions help decision-makers in politics and business to proactively use the differences between women and men to motivate women to work in the STEM field and to strengthen them by acknowledging existing differences.

Digital Holocaust Memory, Education and Research
This book explores the diverse range of practical and theoretical challenges and possibilities that digital technologies and platforms pose for Holocaust memory, education and research.From social media to virtual reality, 360-degree imaging to machine learning, there can be no doubt that digital media penetrate practice in these fields.As the Holocaust moves beyond living memory towards solely mediated memory, it is imperative that we pay critical attention to the way digital technologies are shaping public memory and education and research.Bringing together the voices of heritage and educational professionals, and academics from the arts and humanities and the social sciences, this interdisciplinary collection explores the practicalities of creating digital Holocaust projects, the educational value of such initiatives, and considers the extent to which digital technologies change the way we remember, learn about and research the Holocaust, thinking through issues such as ethics, embodiment, agency, community, and immersion.At its core, this volume interrogates the extent to which digital interventions in these fields mark an epochal shift in Holocaust memory, education and research, or whether they continue to be shaped by long-standing debates and guidelines developed in the broadcast era.

What are composite forces?
Composite forces are forces that result from the combination of two or more individual forces acting on an object. These forces can be added together using vector addition to determine the net force acting on the object. Composite forces can result in different types of motion, such as acceleration, deceleration, or changes in direction, depending on the magnitude and direction of the individual forces involved. Understanding composite forces is important in physics and engineering to analyze the overall effect of multiple forces on an object.
-
How are composite areas formed?
Composite areas are formed by combining two or more geometric shapes to create a new shape. This can involve adding, subtracting, or overlapping the individual shapes to form a larger, more complex area. By understanding the properties of each shape and how they interact with each other, composite areas can be calculated using various mathematical formulas and techniques. These composite areas can be found in real-world applications such as architecture, engineering, and art.

Are you afraid of composite sketches?
As an AI, I do not have emotions or fears, so I am not afraid of composite sketches. However, I understand that some people may feel uneasy or anxious when looking at composite sketches, especially if they resemble someone they know or if they are involved in a criminal investigation. It is important to remember that composite sketches are created based on descriptions provided by witnesses and are a tool used to help identify suspects, not to cause fear or distress.
