Free Download Liora Bigon, "The Arts of the Grid: Interdisciplinary Insights on Gridded Modalities in Conversation with the Arts"
English | ISBN: 3110738066 | 2021 | 288 pages | PDF | 7 MB
This is the first accessible collection of interdisciplinary scholarship that expands on gridded modalities, with a strong affinity to the arts. It strives to inspire new avenues of research by exploring a new horizon of gridded relationships among humans, between humans and the environment, and between human and non-human actors. By bringing together philosophical and more applicable themes, it illustrates how a multifaceted genealogy of the "grid" can operate as an exercise in grasping its inherent complexity and incomplete quality. Built as a collective effort made by a group of researchers, practitioners and designers, it promotes an understanding of gridded modalities as complex networks that interact with other networks, generating new meanings that reflect a change of thought.

Free Download Solveig Marie Wang, "Decolonising Medieval Fennoscandia: An Interdisciplinary Study of Norse-Saami Relations in the Medieval Period "
English | ISBN: 3110784165 | 2023 | 296 pages | PDF | 29 MB
The interdisciplinary study investigates the relationship between Norse and Saami peoples in the medieval period and focuses on the multifaceted portrayal of Saami peoples in medieval texts. The investigative analysis is anchored in postcolonial methodologies and argues for the inherent need to decolonise the medieval source-material as well as recent historiography. This is achieved by presenting the historiographic and political background of research into Norse-Saami relations, before introducing an overview of textual sources discussing Saami peoples from the classical period to the late 1400s, an analysis of the textual motifs associated with the Saami in medieval literature (their relevance and prevalence), geo-political affairs, trading relations, personal relations and Saami presence in the south. By using decolonising tools to read Norse-Saami relations in medieval texts, influenced by archaeological material and postcolonial frameworks, the study challenges lingering colonial assumptions about the role of the Saami in Norse society. The current research episteme is re-adjusted to offer alternative readings of Saami characters and emphasis is put on agency, fluidity and the dynamic realities of the Saami medieval pasts.

Free Download Cancer Research: An Interdisciplinary Approach by Nima Rezaei
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 614 Pages | ISBN : 3031324579 | 25.3 MB
Cancer is a major public health concern and one of the leading causes of death. There is no simple solution for this complex disease, therefore interdisciplinary approaches might help to find solutions to many unanswered questions and challenges about cancer. The rapid flow of interdisciplinary research in cancer during recent years has increased our understanding of the nature of cancers. Such interdisciplinary approaches could be helpful for both the diagnosis and the development of more effective therapeutic strategies.

Free Download Interdisciplinary Research in Technology and Management
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9781003358589 | 395 pages | True PDF | 18.5 MB
We live in an inter-connected world. In the era of Industry 4.0, technology is getting embedded more and more in the way ‘we learn, live, work, and play’. This progression is accelerating at a pace never seen before. Interdisciplinary and collaborative research across disciplines within the Technology domain and Management domain, and across the Technology-Management interface is opening up exciting new possibilities for solving problems whose solutions are beyond the scope of a single discipline, domain or practice, and helping to create a brave new world. The goal of this conference was to bring together scholars, researchers, consultants, and practitioners to share their interdisciplinary research and consultative work in Technology and Management. Selected papers were then peer-reviewed and authors were invited to present their work in the conference.
