Rethinking Education for Sustainable Development : Research, Policy and Practice
This book explores how education can be used as a tool to promote sustainability practices as the world faces huge challenges related to climate change and public health.The chapters consider all types of literacy approaches that fall under the umbrella of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).These approaches include scientific literacy, ecological literacy, health literacy, education on climate change and climate resilience, environmental education and others linking education, global health, and the environment more broadly. “Education” is used in the widest sense to incorporate non-formal, informal and formal/school settings.This volume will help to bring these interconnected areas together and interrogate their research methods, assumptions, field-based application and their policy potential.Taking a critical approach to ESD, the book suggests new pedagogies, tools, and technologies to strengthen the way we educate about sustainability issues and go beyond the current thinking about ESD.The book includes a foreword by Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, USA.

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.

Has human development already reached its peak?
Human development is an ongoing process that continues to evolve and progress. While significant advancements have been made in various aspects of human life, such as technology, healthcare, and education, there is still room for further growth and improvement. As long as there are challenges to overcome and new opportunities to explore, human development has not reached its peak and will continue to advance in the future.

What is the peak-peak value of an unloaded voltage divider?
The peak-peak value of an unloaded voltage divider is equal to the peak-peak value of the input voltage. This is because an unloaded voltage divider does not have any load connected to it, so the output voltage will be the same as the input voltage. Therefore, the peak-peak value of the output voltage will be equal to the peak-peak value of the input voltage.

What causes high electricity consumption in peak and off-peak hours?
High electricity consumption in peak hours is typically caused by increased demand from residential and commercial activities, such as air conditioning, heating, and lighting during the busiest times of the day. In contrast, off-peak hours see lower electricity consumption due to reduced demand as businesses close and people are less active. Factors such as weather conditions, time of day, and economic activities can all contribute to fluctuations in electricity consumption during peak and off-peak hours.
-
What is the peak-to-peak value of an unloaded voltage divider?
The peak-to-peak value of an unloaded voltage divider is equal to the peak-to-peak value of the input voltage. This is because an unloaded voltage divider does not have any current flowing through it, so the output voltage simply follows the input voltage without any attenuation. Therefore, the peak-to-peak value of the output voltage is the same as the peak-to-peak value of the input voltage.

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.

How can a switch from off-peak electricity to peak electricity be made?
A switch from off-peak electricity to peak electricity can be made by adjusting the timing of energy usage. This can be done by scheduling high-energy activities, such as running the dishwasher or doing laundry, during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower. Additionally, using energy-efficient appliances and practices can help reduce overall electricity usage, making the switch to peak electricity less impactful. It's also important to be mindful of energy usage during peak hours and to limit unnecessary consumption during those times.
