Sadiku M: Emerging Technologies in
Africa

Emerging Technologies in Africa

The process of mineral extraction results in substantial damage of the topsoil, which leads to soil degradation in the form of deterioration of the soil structure, susceptibility to soil erosion, excessive leaching of nutrients, soil compaction, decrease in soil pH, accumulation of heavy metals in soil, depletion of organic matter, reduced accessibility of nutrients for plants, diminished capacity for cation exchange, the decline in microbial activity, and ultimately, a consequent decline in soil fertility. Effective management of topsoil is indispensable in the execution of a reclamation strategy, as it serves to minimize nutrient depletion and ultimately expedite the process of restoring soil health and quality. Ghana is among the top ten gold producing countries in the world and its actions towards achieving environmental sustainability in the mining sector must be shared with the world. There are some great success stories as well as challenges in the mining sector sustainability from Ghana’s case, which are left undocumented and are limited in investigations in a scientific book. Such enviable feats chalked by some mining companies must be documented so that lessons can be borrowed for replications in restoring similar degraded mining sites elsewhere across the globe. Additionally, companies can learn from the success stories and challenges encountered in mine land reclamation and revegetation in this book. Revegetation may present a sustainable option for the reclamation and restoration of mine soil degradation. The restoration process involves many strategies aimed at improving the quality of soil, such as augmenting the quantity of soil organic matter, enhancing nutrient availability, increasing cation exchange capacity, stimulating biological activities, and optimizing the physical qualities of the soil. Researchers, scientists and consultants in the subject of soil pollution and remediation have conducted a great deal of study using a variety of techniques and approaches. However, a fragmented reporting of techniques and results has resulted from the documentation and dissemination of success stories, challenges and findings mostly through individual technical reports and publication in scholarly journals. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the many scientific methodologies used to identify environmental risks related to potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in mining sites and revegetation as a strategy to ameliorating contaminated and degraded mining sites. The book covers application of these methods in identifying soil-human health risks and planning towards reclamation of such derelict ecosystems. The book combines reviews of relevant literature, laboratory investigation on PTEs from representative mine-contaminated soil and spoil samples as well as appraisal of case studies on successful reclamation and revegetation of mine-degraded lands. Applications of the total element concentration method, size fractionation experiments, sequential extraction analyses, risk assessment indices, geospatial analysis, redox chemistry experiments, synchrotron radiation science, incubation experiments, and pot experimental trials in soil remediation works were documented first hand in a single piece in this book. The book is organized into nineteen chapters, each dedicated to soil contamination caused by mining and revegetation as a sustainable solution. The initial parts of the book deal with various techniques for identifying soil-human health risks. They include some topics such as the consequences of heavy metal presence and build-up, the sources from which heavy metal pollutants originate, and the possible hazards they bring to plant, human, and soil health. The second parts begin with the concept of mining sector sustainability and explore revegetation as a strategy for reclaiming and remediating mining-contaminated lands, with the objective of restoring ecosystem functionality, improving soil characteristics, and cleaning metal-contaminated soils. The book may serve as a valuable resource for individuals occupying various professional roles and engaging in academic pursuits, such as project officers operating within the environmental, safety, and health divisions of mining enterprises, consultants specializing in land reclamation, lecturers specializing in environmental and soil sciences, students, and individuals with a strong interest in environmental protection.

Welche Handlungsspielräume haben wir in einer Welt, die zunehmend von Künstlicher Intelligenz geprägt wird? Was kommt auf uns zu? Dieses Buch lädt dazu ein, unsere Zukunft in einer von KI geprägten Welt bewusst zu reflektieren. Arbeitsplatzverlust, Diskriminierung, Manipulation, Cyberangriffe und das endgültige Verschwinden von Privatsphäre sind nur der Anfang, denn KI wird unser Mensch-Sein an sich in Frage stellen.
Eine unregulierte KI wird unsere Wahrnehmung immer tiefer in virtuelle Metaversen entführen, aus denen es kein Zurück mehr gibt. Sie verändert nicht nur unsere mentalen Lebenswelten, sondern auch unsere Physis. Wenn Menschen durch Body-Enhancement KI-gesteuerte Zusatzfunktionen in ihre Körper integrieren und Roboter mit biologischen Komponenten ausgerüstet werden, verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Mensch und Maschine. Wir werden zu Cyborgs – aus Science-Fiction wird eine vorhersehbare Realität.
Um diese Entwicklungen wissenschaftlich, gesellschaftspolitisch und ethisch einzuordnen, begeben wir uns auf eine kulturhistorische Reise, die von der Antike bis in ein vielleicht gar nicht mehr so fernes Morgen führt.

Künstliche Intelligenz und Mensch

This open access book presents a pioneering methodology for dynamic system control, offering a mathematically rigorous and practically effective alternative to conventional state-space models, given that the study of nonlinear control of complex multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems has faced significant challenges.&nbsp;
Authored by the&nbsp;proposer of the Fully Actuated System (FAS) approach, this book volumes systematically establish a new paradigm for the analysis and design of dynamical control systems. Unlike traditional state-space methods—where control vectors cannot be explicitly solved—the FAS approach provides a model in which control vectors can be fully or partially determined, significantly enhancing control precision and system performance. Since its introduction, the FAS methodology has attracted substantial attention within the global control community and has demonstrated superior capabilities in managing nonlinear control problems.
Key Contributions:

A novel theoretical framework&nbsp;that advances nonlinear feedback control, addressing long-standing unresolved issues.
A structured, multi-volume exposition, covering&nbsp;Global FAS, Sub-FAS, and Unidirectionally Connected FAS, each building on the preceding concepts.
Comprehensive theoretical foundations&nbsp;with rigorous derivations, controller design methodologies, and practical implementation strategies.
Broad applicability, providing researchers with a robust analytical toolset and equipping control engineers with advanced techniques for real-world system development.

This work constitutes a&nbsp;seminal reference&nbsp;for scholars in control theory, nonlinear systems, and applied engineering, offering both a foundational introduction and an advanced framework for research and industrial application.

Nafeesa T. Nichols analyzes how racialized and gendered spaces are presented in post-apartheid South African literature. Through the examination of four novels, Kopano Matlwa's Coconut (2007), Zukiswa Wanner's The Madams (2006), Niq Mhlongo's After Tears (2007), and Kgebetli Moele's Room 207 (2006), Popular Spaces in Post-Apartheid Literature highlights the interconnections between space, race, gender, and popular culture within the post-apartheid South Africa. Nichols not only explores how post-1994 literature attempts to represent the realities of the post-apartheid condition, but also reveals the innovative and radical contributions that these young authors of the early twenty-first century made within the literary world. This book mediates the dynamics and complexities of space in connection to race and gender, exemplifies the challenge of working with and in violent masculinist textual spaces, and conceptualizes the popular in connection with class, race, and gender struggles. Drawing on an interdisciplinary mix of Black feminist theory, feminist geographical perspectives, and spatial theory, Nichols provides a close reading of each of the selected texts, offering broader insights into the how Black subjects navigate various spaces of oppression. Through these novels, she shows how we are able to imagine the possibilities of liberatory spaces, celebrate local knowledge, creativity, the popular, and, most importantly, the beauty and resistance found in the everyday. In the end, this book contributes to the academic conversations that continue to take place surrounding gender, space, literature, and liberation in South Africa.
