Machine Learning in Stroke Medicine: Opportunities and Challenges for Risk Prediction and Prevention
(2021)Advances in Neuroethics ~ Artificial Intelligence in Brain and Mental Health: Philosophical, Ethical & Policy IssuesStroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide, causing individual hardship and high economic cost for society. Reducing the global burden of stroke depends on a multi-pronged mission, and experts agree an important strategy in this mission is prevention. Prevention success can be bolstered through the strategic development and adoption of risk prediction tools. However, there are several limitations to risk ...Book Chapter -

Preface: Transitioning to no poverty by 2030
(2021)Transitioning to Sustainability ~ Transitioning to No PovertyThe first sustainable development goal (SDG 1) is “to end poverty in all its forms everywhere and for all”, which seems to be non-negotiable for the “world we want”, which would provide minimum living standards for all global citizens. However, the question remains: is this goal feasible, especially given the set-backs in the fight against poverty and the unequal access to health resources that we have observed in 2020 and 2021? If yes, ...Book Chapter -
Earthquake Catastrophe Risk Modeling, Application to the Insurance Industry: Unknowns and Possible Sources of Bias in Pricing
(2021)Springer Tracts in Civil Engineering ~ Advances in Assessment and Modeling of Earthquake LossMathematical risk assessment models based on empirical data and supported by the principles of physics and engineering have been used in the insurance industry for more than three decades to support informed decisions for a wide variety of purposes, including insurance and reinsurance pricing. To supplement scarce data from historical events, these models provide loss estimates caused to portfolios of structures by simulated but realistic ...Book Chapter -

A Safety Net for You, A Safety Net for Me? Donor Promotion of Social Protection Schemes Faces Policy Coherence Issues
(2021)Transitioning to Sustainability ~ Transitioning to No PovertySocial protection schemes are effective instruments to fight poverty in “normal” times. During crises, they are even more important to prevent people from falling into poverty, as the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated. Developing countries have long struggled to generate sufficient tax revenue to fund the social programs and investments needed to protect their populations. In recent years the donor community has increasingly converged ...Book Chapter -
Powering and Fabrication of Small-Scale Robotics Systems
(2021)Current Robotics Reports ~ Topical Collection on Nanorobotics and MicroroboticsPurpose of Review The increasing number of contributions in the field of small-scale robotics is significantly associated with the progress in material science and process engineering during the last half century. With the objective of integrating the most optimal materials for the propulsion of these motile micro- and nanosystems, several manufacturing strategies have been adopted or specifically developed. This brief review covers some ...Book Chapter -

Rhetorical Entrapment in EU-Turkey Relations
(2021)EU-Turkey Relations: Theories, Institutions and PoliciesThis chapter describes and applies the rhetorical action approach to EU–Turkey relations. Generally, rhetorical entrapment denotes the mechanism by which actors are compelled to act in conformance with their prior argumentative commitments. In the context of EU enlargement, member states have committed themselves to enlargement norms and promises in line with the fundamental purpose and values of the EU (such as pan-European community ...Book Chapter -
Geosmartness for personalized and sustainable future urban mobility
(2021)The Urban Book Series ~ Urban InformaticsUrban mobility and transport of people has been rising constantly for decades. Despite the advantages and opportunities mobility has brought to our society, there are also severe drawbacks such as the transport sector’s role as main contributor of greenhouse gas emissions and traffic jams. In the future an increasing number of people will be living in large urban settings and therefore these problems must be solved to assure livable ...Book Chapter
