Innovation Competency Model : Shaping Faculty Academic Innovation Development in China's Higher Education
Contributing to the discussion over China's higher education development, this book takes a theoretical approach to address the topic of university academics' innovation by introducing an academic innovation competency model, exploring the contexts, concepts and practices.The innovation competency model comprises three interdependent dimensions, including the academic internal drive vitality, the academic synthesizing refined ability and the academic suspected and introspective ability.By enriching the theory of professional development of university teachers, these three dimensions will help advance the reform of college personnel systems and ultimately improve the quality of China's higher education. The book will be valuable to researchers, students and stakeholders hoping to learn about education reform in China, or to those who study higher education management and comparative education.

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.

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.

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 is the difference between parallel and truly parallel?
Parallel processing refers to the simultaneous execution of multiple tasks using a single processor, where the tasks are divided into smaller sub-tasks and executed in a sequential manner. Truly parallel processing, on the other hand, involves the simultaneous execution of multiple tasks using multiple processors, where each processor works independently on its own set of tasks. In other words, parallel processing may involve time-sharing or interleaving of tasks on a single processor, while truly parallel processing involves the simultaneous execution of tasks on multiple processors. Truly parallel processing can provide greater performance and efficiency compared to parallel processing.

Are there parallel worlds?
The concept of parallel worlds, also known as the multiverse theory, is a speculative idea in physics and philosophy. While there is no concrete evidence to prove the existence of parallel worlds, some theories suggest that there could be multiple universes existing simultaneously alongside our own. These parallel worlds could potentially have different physical laws, dimensions, or even versions of ourselves. However, until there is empirical evidence to support this theory, the existence of parallel worlds remains purely hypothetical.

What are parallel classes?
Parallel classes are multiple classes that cover the same material or subject matter but are taught by different instructors. These classes are offered at the same time, allowing students to choose which class to attend based on their schedule or preference. Parallel classes are often used in universities or colleges to accommodate a larger number of students or to provide different teaching styles and perspectives on the same topic.

What are parallel keys?
Parallel keys are a type of mechanical fastener used to connect a rotating machine element, such as a gear or pulley, to a shaft. They are inserted into keyways on both the shaft and the machine element to prevent relative motion between the two components. Parallel keys are typically rectangular in shape and come in various sizes to accommodate different shaft and keyway dimensions.
-
Are there parallel universes?
The existence of parallel universes is a topic of speculation in theoretical physics, particularly in the context of theories like the multiverse hypothesis. Some theories suggest that there could be an infinite number of parallel universes, each with its own set of physical laws and conditions. However, there is currently no direct evidence to support the existence of parallel universes, and it remains a speculative concept that is not yet proven or widely accepted in the scientific community.
-
Are dreams parallel worlds?
Dreams are not considered parallel worlds in the traditional sense. While dreams can feel vivid and real, they are typically seen as a product of our subconscious mind processing thoughts, emotions, and memories. Parallel worlds, on the other hand, are theoretical concepts in physics that suggest the existence of alternate realities or dimensions. While dreams may offer a glimpse into different experiences or scenarios, they are generally not viewed as actual parallel worlds.

What are parallel vectors?
Parallel vectors are vectors that have the same or opposite direction, but may have different magnitudes. In other words, if two vectors are parallel, they either point in the same direction or in exactly opposite directions. This means that one vector is a scalar multiple of the other. For example, if vector A is parallel to vector B, then vector A = k * vector B, where k is a scalar.
